Pro-choice doctors launch clinical guide to abortion

A CLINICAL guide to abortion care has been published for the first time in Ireland by a group of pro-choice doctors.

The doctors, who support the introduction of abortion in Ireland, said the guide is in response to demand from the medical profession for advice for women travelling abroad for a termination.

Doctors For Choice spokeswoman Dr Mary Favier said they were also working towards the day when women in this country would feel free to discuss all options with the family doctor in the case of an unwanted pregnancy.
