## Resource

Sinn Féin is set to introduce a bill to scrap the three-day abortion waiting period in early pregnancy, calling it an outdated and harmful policy that’s caused real distress for women. Leader Mary Lou McDonald argues the wait is unnecessary, especially since women have already made a deeply personal decision — and the option to take more time remains. The delay has disproportionately hurt vulnerable women, including victims of abuse, and made access to care harder in rural areas. The party hopes the move will make healthcare more compassionate and responsive, and they’re confident it will pass. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
