Women’s Struggle for Access to Abortion Care in Ireland

Fifteen Irish women share harrowing stories of traveling to the UK for medically necessary abortions, forced by Ireland’s restrictive laws that permit terminations only up to 12 weeks—or under narrow exceptions involving fatal fetal abnormalities. These women, facing devastating diagnoses with no viable in-country options, endure emotional and logistical trauma while calling for urgent legal reform. Launched on the anniversary of Ireland’s abortion referendum repeal, the book highlights the urgent need for compassionate, accessible care within Ireland—especially as recent legislative efforts to ease restrictions were defeated. Supported by LMC Bereavement Support, whose peer-led guidance helps families navigate these unbearable decisions, the stories aim to galvanize change and end the painful necessity of cross-border travel for life-saving care.
