Party makes submission on the Criminal Law on Abortion

The Workers Party has  made a submission to the public consultation organised by the Department of Justice on proposed changes to the criminal law on abortion.

While welcoming the opportunity to address an area of the law in which women are denied the fundamental right to choose how they control their own bodies, the Party also expressed its disappointed that the consultation process continued to ignore that right through its repetitive and restrictive focus on two aspects of the criminal law.
