Kenny ‘not in business of liberalising abortion’

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has said the Government is not in the business of liberalising abortion.

Speaking after 25,000 people took part in an anti-abortion protest, Mr Kenny said the Government had an obligation to legislate for limited abortion following recent court rulings.

Mr Kenny said that legal certainty will be given to medical professionals and this will be done in a humanitarian way. He also told RTÉ’s The Week In Politics that he had received abusive messages on the issue.
