Three-Day Wait Ends in Dáil Vote
Description
The Dáil just voted to scrap the three-day abortion waiting period, passing Sinn Féin’s bill with 86 votes to 70 — a surprising move that split even the government, with the Taoiseach and key ministers voting against it. Though originally meant as a “reflection period,” studies showed the wait often felt like an unnecessary barrier, with few finding it genuinely helpful. The bill now heads to the Health Committee, where debates may continue over whether this change goes far enough — especially for women facing complex medical situations.
