Was trying to title this in a way that didn't seem course. Abortion is outlawed in Ireland, so irish women at the rate of 12 day are travelling to the uK to have the procedure done.

Irish women travel to Britain for abortions every day by the dozen

The British Department of Health has released figures which reveal that 12 Irish women travel across to Britain to have abortions every day. Abortion is illegal in Ireland.
Last year 4,422 women who used abortion clinics in Britain gave Irish addresses.
On the back of these figures the Irish Family Planning Association has asked the Government to legalize abortion despite the fact that this figure has dropped continuously over the last eight years. These figures have dropped from 6,673 in 2001.
Niall Behan, the Chief Executive of the Irish Family Planning Association said “While this trend is a step in the right direction the harsh reality behind these statistics is that every day 12 women must make the journey to Britain to access safe and legal abortion services.
“These figures are compelling evidence of the need for domestic-based abortion services in Ireland.”
