Esme discovered she was pregnant at an extraordinarily difficult time in her life. Between a plethora of unresolved issues and a severe mental health condition, the news of pregnancy was not received well by herself or her partner. As a result, abortion was suggested and encouraged.
Róisín rang her GP seeking an abortion and had an appointment made for the following day. Not only was Róisín not made aware of the mandatory three-day wait — she was given the first abortion pill then and there. No questions asked.
Rite & Reason: To hear that your baby may not make it even to birth is utterly shattering
It is a cold day in hell when the leaders of Fine Gael and Fianna Fail come together to support a Sinn Fein legislative proposal. But that is what has happened as yet another protection for the unborn child is stripped away in the Irish statute books.
There is “real anger ” in Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael this week after party leaders supported Sinn Féin’s abortion proposal – with a feeling that Micheál Martin and Simon Harris “rescued” Mary Lou McDonald “after two bad bye-elections”, sources have told Gript.

Last week, on June 3rd, Stephen McCullagh was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Natalie McNally in December 2022. Natalie was 15 weeks pregnant with a baby boy when her life was taken - and the life of her unborn child was also recognised as being precious and important.

Two weeks ago on Wednesday May 12th, the Social Democrat’s abortion bill was defeated in the Dáil by a significant margin — 85 votes to 30.
