Avort
Primul ministru irlandez declară că va campa pentru liberalizarea legilor privind abonamentele
Premierul irlandez Leo Varadkar (foto) said on Saturday (27 January) that he would campaign for a liberalization of the country’s restrictive abortion laws ahead of a referendum in the coming months, adding that his views on the issue had evolved, scrie James Davey.
While the country remains overwhelmingly Catholic - a complete ban on abortion was only lifted in 2013 - public opinion has become far more socially liberal in recent years.
“I believe Ireland’s abortion laws are too restrictive and need to be liberalized,” Varadkar said in an interview with BBC radio on Saturday. “I’ll be campaigning for them to be changed.”
Asked about his previous position, Varadkar said that his views had evolved in recent years.
“I think sometimes that pro-life and pro-choice can be misunderstood...I think even people who are in favour of abortion in certain circumstances are pro-life,” he said.
“These terms pro-life and pro-choice don’t really comprehend the complexity of this issue, which is a very private and personal one and one, I think, that contains a lot of grey areas.”
An opinion poll on Friday found that a majority of Irish voters would support a proposal to allow abortion up to 12 weeks into a pregnancy, but that many older voters opposed the change.
