David Cullinane: “more than 200,000 people are currently waiting for some form of outpatient appointment in hospitals across Ireland.”

official figures I have received show that, of this overall group, some patients are waiting more than 709 weeks for an outpatient appointment.

No one should be rushed or forced into making a decision about an abortion.

Women should have access to abortion services on the basis of their own choice

When a woman is certain that this is what she wants, it allows her to make that decision for herself in her own time, about her own pregnancy without a mandatory delay.
