Woman Who Had Termination Says "Don't Patronise Me...I Don't Need 3 Days To Decide"

The Social Democrats want to scrap Ireland’s mandatory three-day “cooling off” period before an abortion — and on this episode Adrian and Jeremy ask: is it a sensible safeguard… or a patronising barrier that drags out an already traumatic decision?

Others insist the wait protects women, offers support, and could prevent regret — with heated debate over statistics claiming thousands don’t return for a second appointment. Plus, another Opinions Matter travel mug winner… and a new mug giveaway question at the end.
