I am pregnant and considering an abortion, can the IFPA help?
Answer:
The IFPA is a pro-choice organisation. This means we provide information for women who are considering her options on abortion, parenting and adoption. We provide a safe and completely confidential space for anyone who needs it to explore their feelings around their crisis pregnancy and the options they feel are open to them including abortion.
Should you request it IFPA counsellors will provide you with information on abortion services in countries where abortion is legal. Your counsellor will give you all the information you require and explain the procedures involved if your choice is to have an abortion.
Abortion is currently unlawful in Ireland and therefore unavailable (this includes Northern Ireland). This means that women living in Ireland must travel to a country where abortion is legal. Women have the option of travelling to the UK or other EU countries to access abortion services.
Remember you do not break any Irish law by traveling for an abortion or by having an abortion in a country where it is legal.
