The Daily PollPoll: Is it time to hold another referendum on abortion?
Alan Shatter says it should be held on allowing terminations in cases of TFMR, rape and incest.
THE ISSUE OF abortion is a big one in Ireland.
We last held a referendum on it in 2002, but there have been repeated attempts to bring in new legislation or amendments regarding abortion in certain circumstances – one of which (the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act) was successful.
Earlier this week, former Minister Alan Shatter said that a referendum needs to be held on the issue of allowing terminations in cases of fatal foetal abnormalities (TFMR), rape and incest.
His comments came after the Government voted against a bill from Clare Daly on the issue of TFMR.
What do you think: Is it time to hold another referendum on abortion and TFMR, rape and incest?
