IFPA Policy Submission to the Crisis Pregnancy Agency
June 2002.
The IFPA acknowledges the work now underway by the Crisis Pregnancy Agency to develop a strategy and welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the process.
The perspective offered by the IFPA in this submission is directly related to our expertise in the area of reproductive health and crisis pregnancy.
In making this submission, the IFPA would like to achieve the following:
- A significant reduction in the extent of unplanned pregnancies in Ireland, brought about through education, information and service provision.
- Vast improvements in access to and information about non-directive pregnancy counselling, as well as minimum standards with regard to the quality of pregnancy counselling on offer by agencies.
- A reduction in the number of terminations taking place after 12 weeks of gestation.
- Greater supports for women who have had abortions
