Indications that abortion rate has trebled in one year a devastating tragedy: Pro Life campaign

Estimates that 800-900 abortions a month are being carried out in Ireland have been described as “a devastating tragedy” by the Pro Life Campaign.

While there are no official figures as to the number of abortions which have taken place in Ireland since new abortion laws came into effect the START group, which represents about 250 medical professionals involved in abortion provision, said its members estimate they are carrying out between 800-900 terminations a month.
