Ahead of this evening’s vote on Clare Daly’s bill to allow abortion in cases of fatal fetal abnormalities.
Sent Away Stories.
A short documentary for your consideration.
Luke McManus writes:
This documentary tells the story of pregnant women who were diagnosed with fatal foetal abnormality in Irish hospitals. These women travelled abroad for termination because Irish law denied them this treatment at home. Their group, TFMR (Termination For Medical Reasons) are now lobbying to have the law changed. Thank you to Kate McCullough, Joanne Cunningham, Brendan Rehill and Niall Campion who donated their time to this cause.

fingers crossed this gets passed. i’ll be taking note of all the tds who oppose or don’t show for this vote and i sincerely hope it comes back to bite them at the next election.
and once again, hats off to claire daly.
+1 She’s been impressing me more and more recently.
A friend of mine’s wife had to travel for an abortion due to Fatal Foetal Abnormality some years ago. Practically none of our mutual friends know, and he only felt safe telling me when he discovered I was a pro-choice activist. His story, like every similar story is heartbreaking and made all the worse by our horrible, horrible laws.
It probably won’t pass today because it was not proposed by government. FG need to back it as well to make the numbers.
