Choice Ireland

Choice Ireland will highlight the government's failure to address the issue of crisis pregnancy with a demonstration outside a Rogue Crisis pregnancy agency located at 50 Upper Dorset Street at 1pm on Saturday July 24th. The recent absorption of the Crisis Pregnancy Agency into the HSE, coupled with repeated failures to regulate agencies providing crisis pregnancy counselling demonstrates an unacceptable failure to tackle the very serious issue of crisis pregnancy.

Commenting Spokeswoman Sinead Ahern said “Crisis pregnancy and abortion are a reality in Ireland and it is time to take our heads out of the sand and try to support the women and men affected. Choice Ireland has been campaigning for regulation of these agencies for two years,” Ms. Ahern said. “Every day, rogue counsellors are lying to women facing crisis pregnancies, and they are doing so with impunity. Legislation governing crisis pregnancy counselling only covers clinics who provide abortion information.

“We can not imagine any other area of medical care in which a situation like this would be allowed to continue. Not only is it dishonest it is dangerous” she said.
