Law on abortion ‘cruel, unfair, and needs to change’

Women forced to have an abortion abroad because their unborn baby had abnormalities will tell politicians today that the law is cruel, unfair, and needs to change.

Four women have gone public on their situation to highlight what they believe many ordinary women like them endure in silence.

The women will meet TDs in Leinster House today as the Dáil debates a private members’ bill on implementing the X case ruling.
