Sinn Féin says it will introduce legislation in the Dáil to remove the mandatory three-day wait period for abortion in early pregnancy. Party leader Mary Lou McDonald announces the move will be taken to the chamber next week, with some reporting specifying the legislation is planned for consideration on Tuesday. The proposal comes after a similar bill advanced by the Social Democrats was defeated in a Dáil vote in May. Multiple outlets report that Sinn Féin is seeking to change existing law by eliminating the waiting period requirement, while no details on the bill’s additional provisions are reported in the provided coverage. The reporting is consistent that Sinn Féin is acting in response to the earlier failure of the Social Democrats’ bill and is now preparing its own legislative effort through parliamentary process. The focus across outlets is on the timing and objective of the proposed change: scrapping the three-day mandatory delay for early-pregnancy abortions.
