Today, Ireland is ruled by a prime minister who named Mary McAlleese. She was elected in 1997. And at the end of this mandate, she was relected in 2004. She is considered as a strict conservative. In spite of the presidency of awoman, the issue of the abortion remained the same.

Chronology about abortion ( part 1)
Posté le 28.01.2008 par abortioninireland
Article 58: Every woman being with child, who with intent to procure her own miscarriage shall unlawfully administer to herself any poison or other noxious thing or shall unlawfully use any instrument or other means whatsoever with the like intent, and whomsoever, with intent to procure the miscarriage of any woman, whether she be or be not with child, shall unlawfully administer to her or cause to be taken by her any poison or other noxious thing, or shall unlawfully use any instrument or other means whatsoever with the like intent, shall be guilty of felony, and being convicted thereof shall be liable. . . to be kept in penal servitude for life.
Article 59 : Whomsoever shall unlawfully supply or procure any poison or other noxious thing, or any instrument or thing whatsoever, knowing that the same is intended to be unlawfully used or employed with intent to procure the miscarriage of any woman, whether she be or be not with child, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and being convicted thereof shall be liable. . . to be kept in penal servitude.
In1983, article 40.3.3 of the Constitution was amended:” The state acknowledges the right to life of the unborn and, with due regard to the equal right to life of the mother, guarantees in its laws to respect, and, as far as practicable, by its laws to defend and vindicate that right.”
In 1986, Justice Hamilton who was the associate chief, declared that having an abortion outside Ireland, was an infringement to article 40.3.3 which declared the unborn's ritght to live the right to life of the unborn.
In 1988, The Supreme Court confirmed Justice Hamilton’s decision.

Chronology about abortion (part 2)
Posté le 28.01.2008 par abortioninireland
In 1991, The European Court of Justice decided that while abortion is a service available under EC law, students unions in Ireland -who face an action from the Society for the Protection of the Unborn Child (SPUC) bar them from distributing information on how and where to obtain an abortion- could be prohibited from distributing such information because they hadn’t financial links with the UK clinics which provide the service. Then Ireland signed, in february 1992,the Treaty of European Union at Maastricht where it receives a guarantee that its strict law about abortion will not be affected.
In February 1992, Justice Costello grantedan injunction in the Supreme Court about a 14-years- old girl, whowas expecting a baby after a rape. She is allowed to travel to Great Britain for an abortion. By a majority of three to two, the court found that, if there was a real and substantial risk to the mother's life, as distinct from her health, and that this real and substantial risk could only be averted by the termination of her pregnancy, this would be lawful. It accepted that she had threatened to commit suicide if she had to carry the child to full term, and that this constituted a real and substantial risk to her life. The court lifted the injunction.
In November 1992, two referendums were passed which altered article 40.3.3 to protect the right to travel and information.The article 40.3.3 of the Constitution was amended:
“The State acknowledges the right to life of the unborn and, with due regard to the equal right to life of the mother, guarantees in its laws to respect, and, as far as practicable, by its laws to defend and vindicate that right.This subsection shall not limit freedom to travel between a country, a another. This subsection shall not limit freedom to obtain or make available, in the State, subject to such conditions as may be laid down by law, information relating to services lawfully available in another state.”
In 1995[/b], the Regulation of Information Act was passed to lay the conditions under which abortion information could be provided. Since then, information about abortion can be given only for counseling.
In November 1997 , there was the case of another raped and pregnant teenager seeked an abortion in the United Kingdom. This case was different to the X case in that her parents were opposed to her decision to travel in United Kingdom for an abortion. Using the judgment X, Mister Justice Geoghegan exercised controlling authority over her, which she could travel. However, he added: “The amended Constitution does not now give a right to abortion outside Ireland. It merely prevents injunctions against travelling for that purpose."
In 1998, the Government established an Interdepartmental Working Group on Abortion.

Chronology about abortion (part 3)
Posté le 28.01.2008 par abortioninireland
In May, June and July 2000 , interested parties and organizations were invited to address the All-Party Oireachtas Committee. Chaired by Fianna Fail TD Mr. Brian Lenihan, it received 100.000 submissions. In November 2000, the All-Party Oireachtas Committee published its reports. After nearly 12 months, the Committee failed to reach a consensus outlining three approaches. Fine Gael’s approach is to concentrate on the plan to reduce the number of crisis pregnancy and to leave the legal position unchanged. The constitutional and legislative measures would have no impact on abortions carried out in Ireland. The second option was to support the plan to reduce crisis pregnancies thanks to the legislation to protect medical intervention to safeguard the mother’s life within the constitutional framework. The third option, put forward by Fianna Fail, was to support the plan to reduce crisis pregnancies and for a combination of a referendum and a law to allow for current medical practice excluding suicide.
In November 2000, the Cabinet subcommittee on abortion convenes, chaired by the Minister for Health. This subcommittee was to eventually make a recommendation to the Government.
In October 2001, the Taoiseach who was the Prime Minister of the republic of Ireland ,announced his plan to hold a referendum which permitted an abortion when the mother’s life was in danger arising a pregnancy, but not when suicide was threatened.
In February 2002, Fianna Fail who was the biggest political party in Ireland launched its abortion amendment campaign with the twenty-fifth Amendment to the constitution (Protect of Human Life in Prengancy)
The referendum proposes to add two new sub-sections to Article 40.3.3 of the Constitution. It acknowledges the equal right to life of the mother and the unborn. A new Article 40.3.4 states: "In particular, the life of the unborn in the womb shall be protected in accordance with the provisions of the Protection of Human Life in Pregnancy Act, 2002." A new Article 40.3.5 proposes that this Act cannot be changed unless it is approved by the people in a new referendum. The main provisions of the Protection of Human Life in Pregnancy Bill are: The threat of suicide, based on the X case, will be removed as a ground for abortion; Abortion will be defined as the intentional destruction by any means of unborn human life after implantation in the womb. (This definition presumes that the IUD and the morning-after pill will have legal protection); A procedure carried out by a medical practitioner at an approved place - to be laid down by the Minister by regulation after the referendum - to prevent a real and substantial risk of the loss of a woman's life, other than by self-destruction, will not be regarded as an abortion; Anyone aiding or procuring an abortion will be liable for up to 12 years' imprisonment. The right to information and freedom to travel for an abortion are restated in the Bill.
In March 2002 , a referendum is held. The voters reject the constitutional amendment by 50,42 per cent to 49,58.
In August 2005, the Safe and Legal in Ireland Abortion Rights Campaign formed to demand legal abortion services in Ireland .

Catholics in Ireland
Posté le 28.01.2008 par abortioninireland
Roman Catholics believe:
¤ Life begins at conception - the foetus is a human being with human rights.
¤ All bible teaching on human life also applies to the foetus - especially the 6th commandment ‘Do not kill’.
¤ If a mother can not support her baby then it should be adopted.
¤ Life is sacred because it is given by God - ‘created in the image of God’ (creation story).

The Safe and Legal Abortion Rights Campaign
Posté le 28.01.2008 par abortioninireland
This campaign will be a very significant movement for legal abortion in Ireland . As Ireland’s abortion rights campaign, this campaign aims at increasing people’s awarness, fight stigma and realize rights for the 6000 Irish women who are forced to travel to Britain to have an abortion each year. According to this campaign, we notice that at least 123,258 women travelled from Ireland to the United Kingdom for abortions between January 1980 and December 2005. It is time now for the Irish Government to face up to the reality of abortion in Ireland and to end the hypocrisy of the legal ban on abortion .

Statistics
Posté le 28.01.2008 par abortioninireland
In December 2005, about 5 women travelled to the United Kingdom for abortions.Most of the women who travelled to the United Kingdom for abortions are between 20 and 30 years old.
According to the Irish Contraception and Crisis Pregnancy Study (ICCP), some 12% of all the pregnancies experienced by women were defined as crisis. Furthermore, 28% of women and 23% of men defined at least one pregnancy experience as a crisis. The study shows us that younger women were more likely to have experienced a crisis pregnancy than older women. A statistical report of the Crisis Pregnancy Agency in 2005, shows to additional analysis which want to evaluate the extent of crisis pregnancy in the Irish population. Using data from the ICCP survey and using population’s statistic from CSO, the analysis suggest that 11% of 18-25 year old women, 19% of 26-35 year old women and 18% of women aged 36-45 have experienced a crisis pregnancy.
Between January 1980 and December 2004, a lot of women travelled from Ireland to Britain for abortion services.
In 2006, 5042 women travelled to have an abortion in Britain. Amond these women, 39 were under 16 years old, and 1505 were between 20 and 24 years old.
In 1991, 4154 women travelled to Britain to abort. Among these women, 1511 were between 20 and 24 years old.So we can conclude that women who are between 20 and 24 years old, are the most numerous.

Group members picket politicians'homes and family planning clinics. Jim dowson, spokesman for Precious Life Scotland, told the Scotsman newspaper, "Youth Defence is launching the front to pull all the ressources of the individual groups together. This is a radical new pan-European movement"
Youth Defence International is composed of young people's organisations from the Irish Republic, Iraly, France, Spain and Australia. It plans to hold a major meeting in Rome in August and claims to have supporters from most of the world, not just Europe.
