** IFPA and START’s attack shows weakness of their case
------------------------------------------------------------

Two of the country’s most prominent pro-abortion organisations, the Irish Family Planning Association (IFPA) and the abortion-supporting doctors’ group START, focussed their attacks this week on Breda O’Brien’s recent powerful article defending the three-day period of reflection before an abortion.

Given all that has happened in recent weeks - including the defeat of the Soc Dem bill in the Dáil seeking to abolish the three-day wait - the latest interventions from both groups bring home, in a fresh and striking way, just how impoverished their arguments really are. Their hostility to even a brief period of reflection exposes the weakness of their case, and underlines why we must keep up the pressure to ensure they do not get their way.

While Breda’s article in The Irish Times cited official HSE data showing that one in six women who had an initial abortion consultation did not return for an abortion after the three-day wait, the IFPA and START, in their replies on the letters page of the same newspaper, offered little more than the same tired talking points and debunked statistics. Once again, their responses did not address the central fact: the three-day wait gives many women the time and space to reconsider.

** Encouraging politicians when they get it right
------------------------------------------------------------

If your local TD voted against the recent Social Democrats’ bill to remove the life-saving three-day reflection period before an abortion, please consider sending them a brief note of thanks. We are often justified in criticising politicians when they get things wrong, but we should also be quick to encourage them when they get things right.

A simple, respectful message can remind them that their stand was noticed and appreciated.

** Protecting the three-day wait
------------------------------------------------------------

If you or someone you know benefited from Ireland’s three-day waiting period before an abortion, we would love to hear your story. Under Irish law, there is currently a mandatory three-day wait between an initial abortion consultation and the procedure itself.

For many women, this brief pause has provided valuable time to reflect, seek support, or reconsider a decision made during a moment of fear, pressure, or crisis. Recent figures show that thousands of women chose not to proceed with abortion after this waiting period. We believe these stories matter and deserve to be heard.

If you feel comfortable sharing your experience, or would simply like to learn more, please send us a message. All conversations will be treated with care, respect, and confidentiality.
