Ruth Coppinger (Dublin West, Socialist Party) | Oireachtas source

Dr. Bressan makes the point that in the not-too-distant future we will look back on the shameful bans on contraception, divorce, homosexuality and movies such as "The Life of Brian". Will the Minister of State at least ask the Customs service to stop preventing people from ordering packages online? Why is she perpetuating this disgraceful ban? She will have a third chance to repeal the eight amendment in a Bill on 8 May which is being brought forward by Deputy Joe Higgins and me. I hope it is not a case of the Labour Party rejecting three times women's autonomy over their own bodies.
