Abortion rights in Ireland | Unreported World

Ireland's Big Decision: The Republic of Ireland is changing fast. But, its abortion laws are still very conservative. Abortion’s banned unless a pregnant woman is about to die and a woman who has one faces 14 years in jail. Even in cases of rape, or when the fetus isn’t viable - abortion is illegal.

The country will soon vote on whether to change this.
Reporter Shaunagh Connaire grew up in Ireland. During her convent education she was taught abortion was wrong but she's now pro-choice. She’s in Ireland to hear both sides of the debate. Her journey begins in Waterford.

Some viewers may find images in this film distressing.
