ANV welcomes mandate to legislate for X case
"The people have given their verdict on the government proposal, and it is a clear mandate to legislate for the X case. Politicians, of whatever party, now have no excuse to avoid the issue. They have to bring in laws to vindicate the right to an abortion for suicidal women. "We also need to move on and address the wider questions. Rape and suicide victims should be allowed the choice of terminating their pregnancies, as should women, such as Deirdre de Barra, carrying foetuses that cannot survive. Now that the government's referendum has been rejected, the whole issue of abortion in Ireland has to be addressed properly. ANV spokesperson Cathleen O'Neill "

1. It will deny women who are suicidal as a result of a crisis pregnancy the right to have an abortion in Ireland-the X case of 1992, which allowed a 14 year old suicidal rape victim to have an abortion, will be overturned 2. It will criminalise women who try to perform an abortion on themselves- and anyone who helps a woman to get an abortion in Ireland. They will face twelve years in prison. 3.It will restrict existing medical practice by preventing doctors performing life-saving terminations, which only will be allowed - in a number of 'approved places - where there is an immediate risk the woman may die -with no provision for emergencies 4. It will not protect the morning after pill or the IUD from legal challenge 5.It will endanger the lives of women and girls by denying Health Boards the power to take a suicidal rape victim, like the girl in the C case of 1997 abroad for an abortion

PD hypocrisy endangers women's lives Is the PDs' survival in government more important to them than their liberal principles? Instead of hypocritically putting women's lives in danger, we should be facing up to the reality of abortion.
Criminalised - Exiled - Silenced The abortion Bill that Fianna Fail and the PDs are railroading through the Dail criminalises, exiles and silences tens of thousands of Irish women. [PDF version of this leaflet for you to print out and distribute]
