Re: Just in case the Poles were feeling put upon (4.00 / 3)

That is appalling. Absolutely appalling.

Which, if any, of the Irish political parties supports modifying and/or rescinding the ban? Is the issue even on the table?

Off the top of my head, Labour and the Socialist Party. Not sure about the PDs. Fianna Fail and Fine Gael, the two main parties, would rather it all just went away as far as I know.

It's not really on the table at the moment, though this is the sort of thing that could put it there. The problem is getting enough people out to vote in favour of legalising abortion - it would need to be a referendum.
