Summary
Ireland’s parliament is back in committee room two, revisiting the contentious three-day abortion waiting period — a 2018 compromise now under fire from Sinn Féin’s bill to scrap it. While government TDs from Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael oppose the move, citing the importance of reflection, internal party divisions are growing as some backbenchers resist change despite leadership openness to review. The bill heads to committee stage with amendments likely, as lawmakers grapple with shifting public sentiment and the legacy of a policy born more from politics than medical advice.
