Opinion of Irish abortion laws

[Tetro Kornbluth]

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

Obviously they're awful, but awful in kinda interesting way. The pro-life movement unintentionally helped to slightly liberalize our laws on this recently, to much lulz all round.

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. 

Exactly.

And the particular amendment in the constitution states that both the unborn fetus and the mother must be treated 'equally'. We live with the consequences.
