But let's take a look at other countries take on what should be done. The Irish Government's decision to reject recommendations
made by a number of UN member states for Ireland to legislate for abortion
"recognises the reality that Ireland is the safest country in the world
for women to give birth" the Pro Life Campaign (PLC) has said.
Hey, we got one guy who rejected abortion!
Last October the Irish government appeared before the UN
Human Rights Council as part of the Universal Periodic Review process and
rejected calls made by six countries for Ireland to legislate for abortion. The
countries were Holland, Germany, Denmark, Slovenia, Norway and Spain.
A Government report designed as a response to a series of
other recommendations made last year as part of the UN's Universal Periodic
Review (UPR) was presented in Geneva this morning and confirms Ireland's
decision to reject calls for abortion.
Responding to the adoption of the Universal Periodic Review
report, PLC spokesperson Dr Ruth Cullen welcomed the Government's stance.
Dr Cullen said: "Calls for abortion legislation fly in
the face of the United Nation's own recent research showing that Ireland,
without abortion, is a world leader in terms of safety for women in pregnancy.
Maternal safety in Ireland, it should be noted, is better than in the six
countries which last year sought to put pressure on Ireland to introduce abortion.
The latest UN study on maternal mortality, published in 2010, shows that out of
172 countries for which estimates are given, Ireland remains a world leader in
safety for pregnant women.
