Liveline · Should the three-day wait period for abortion in early pregnancy be removed? · 16 Jun 2026 podcast

Look, the reality is that, you know, I've heard this point that about, you know, it's patriarchal or whatever.

This gives a protected time.

You know, we talked about and I heard Sinn Féin talk about the issue of coercion.

This is a protected time where actually a woman can also get help.

And it's kind of another point that's hard to make sense of.

We know that in 2026 alone, two men have already been given lengthy prison sentences linked to forcing women into abortion.

So the three-day wait for those women is a protection, not the opposite.

So, you know, I think that anybody who is... People need to read victim impact statements from those women and also need to...

reads the HSE replied to a parliamentary question from Carol Nolan where it acknowledged the reality of forced abortion and actually the HSE said meeting the woman in person increases the likelihood of a provider identifying any coercion or domestic abuse.

So if you remove this, you're less likely to have that in-person consultation.

And it does a great disservice to women to talk about coercion without acknowledging the appalling coercion that's taking place of women being forced into abortion.

So that happens too.

And in practice, once the mandatory pause is removed, and I get that it's mandatory, and I understand the point about that, some women may feel pressured to proceed immediately.

So the three-day period guarantees women have at least some protected time to consider the alternatives and free from those kinds of immediate pressures.

Liveline · "Belfast used to be the biggest economic part of this island" · 15 Jun 2026 podcast

Yeah, I feel in some ways I'm in an alternative universe because I'm listening to Ben who's from East Belfast

in favour of United Ireland.

I'm listening to people in the South who are talking against it.

Am I going mad here?

Now, I was born and raised in Dublin, brought up in Dublin, but my parents are from Newry.

And they, all their lives, were nationalists who had Irish passports.
