Irish law allows abortion if the mother's life is deemed to be in danger, but not for rape or any other reason.

Obviously terrible laws.

Here we've mostly learnt that the term 'danger' is a very ambiguous one.

Abortion restrictions inevitably endanger the mother, even when the exception for her life supposedly exists.  I'm not sure who decides or how they decide whether or not the mother's life is threatened.  When women need an urgent, lifesaving procedure, abortion restrictions result in them being burdened by having "prove" that their lives are at risk.  Doctors may still be afraid to treat them because they're afraid of the law.
