Réada Cronin (Kildare North, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

We did not make ourselves pregnant. We were not that good at all. When it came to fertility, there seems to have been nothing that mná na hÉireann could not do without men. However, women in Ireland have found our voice and we certainly made sure that it was heard at the referendum on the eighth amendment so that future generations would not have to put up with this nonsense.

Sinn Féin supports this Bill, but we would like it to go further. Women must be able to avail of abortion services if that is their personal choice. It should be available to them locally and be geographically convenient to where they live.
