  • Not everybody can afford it
    Not everybody can leave (health issues, abusive partner)
    People with babies that won't survive birth have to get the ashes back via the post (I wish I made this up...)
    Refugees/asylum seekers are stuck
    One women got forced into a c-section
    Several women have died

    So yes in theory, people can travel but if you don't have the money, or are sick, forget about it. It's the same in NI, with the only difference that our laws are not so ridiculous people have actually died.

    Abortion Support Network provides money but they can't help people with no travel papers/with abusive partners...

  • Not everybody can leave

    Govt. services have actively prevented people from leaving, once they cotton on to what they want to do.

  • I think I missed that bit, I know in 1984 the x-case (where they did try to stop women from leaving!) meant that the state could not stop women from leaving.

    But that still happens? It would in a way not surprise me...
