She's a minor under the care of the health authority, so legally she can't travel anywhere without their permission and they don't feel they can give permission for her to travel for an abortion without her being suicidal.

Ireland to Miss D: we'd rather restrain you and drive you to the brink of suicide than allow you to abort a brainless fetus.

I love the smell of family values in the morning.

That's what happens when the anti-abortion church crowd decide that their last gasp of power will be inserting an ill-thought out abortion ban in the fucking Constitution. We've had some ludicrous number of referendums on details of the ban since and this smells like the start of a new one. You'd never get the ban inserted now, but we can't get rid of it either because that requires motivating people to come out and vote for abortion. It'll be another ten years before that can be done, I suspect.
