There are no exceptions, so you can imagine the horrors this leads to.
I know the laws are ridiculous, but isn't it effectively decriminalised if one can afford to travel to England/Wales/Scotland? And surely a NI woman can use NHS in those countries without EHIC?
Not saying she should have to of course! Just wondering if worse situation than I thought.

Irish vote on referendum to repeal the 8th amendment, which blocks abortion if the fetus has a heartbeat -even when it has no chance to live after birth - until a pregnant woman is close to dying. There are no exceptions, so you can imagine the horrors this leads to.
This can affect NI also, as if this vote is YES, the Republic will have laws that are more liberal than what we have here, and they are considering allowing abortion for NI women under the EU Ehic health scheme.
