Irish GPs call to end mandatory 3-day abortion wait, cite clinical autonomy
Irish IndependentLO·IE·1 day ago
The Irish College of General Practitioners (ICGP) has publicly supported removing the three-day reflective period before abortion, a move criticized by TDs as a missed opportunity for broader reform. The ICGP has not consulted its members, and the Oireachtas Health Committee is debating the change. This signals a potential policy shift in Ireland's abortion law, though internal dissent and legislative process remain uncertain.
