Abortion is illegal except when a life is in danger. As a result many hundreds of women cross the Irish Sea every year to England, Wales or Scotland for the procedure.

I know that this topic is very sensitive in certain parts of the USA who seem to still reject/ignore the USSC Roe vs Wade decision.

I know I digress but there are still many issues with equality of healthcare for women in the USA.
