Ireland: Rights body calls for legalized abortion

In a report by Human Rights Watch, Ireland is accused of violating a long list of human rights in its treatment of abortion. The report says the actions of the Government in the face of the "need for abortion" have been "erratic and divisive" and it calls for a change to its restrictive abortion laws to meet its obligations under international law. Irish Examiner The SPUC responds that "there is no such thing as a right to abortion under international law."
