To suggest removing abortion wait would pressure women is disrespectful, Family Planning Association says

Dr Caitriona Henchion, Irish Family Planning Association medical director, said: 'We would always encourage people to take whatever time they need.'

It is “disrespectful” to women and doctors to suggest removing the mandatory three-day wait for an abortion is pressuring women, the Irish Family Planning Association said.

It also called for age limits on the free contraception scheme to run from 16 to 50 as it published its annual report for last year.
