Survey finds 20% of woman who have had an abortion feel they weren't treated with dignity and respect

ARC says the report shows that there are significant gaps in the information provided to those seeking abortions, the mandatory three-day waiting period had serious negative effects, and there are major barriers to access for those over 12 weeks.

Over a fifth (22%) of women who have had an abortion since the eighth amendment was repealed did not feel they were treated with dignity and respect by providers, with some experiencing racism and judgement from staff.

That is according to a survey launched by the Abortion Rights Campaign (ARC) evaluating individuals’ experiences of abortion care here since the legislation was repealed.
