Calls for for Dr Peter Boylan to step aside from chairperson role; 1,300 doctors declare support for Yes vote

The Love Both campaign has hit out at chairperson of the Institute of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Dr Peter Boylan as he "does not speak for his profession on abortion".

It comes after 17 obstetricians from the South/Southwest Hospital Group, who don't believe the body should actively campaign for either side, called on Dr Boylan to temporarily stand aside until after the referendum on the Eighth Amendment.
