Pro-choice protesters will gather outside the Dáil later to press for changes to the abortion legislation.

One of their demands is for the scrapping of the three day waiting period contained in the bill.

The Dáil last night rejected an amendment to get rid of the measure.

 

The Health Minister said it was something that people voted for in the referendum.

Solidarity TD, Ruth Coppinger, believes it's a backward step:

"This seems to be about punishing women and making it as difficult as possible for them, these sorts of waiting periods are being brought in in the US by very conservative, religious fundamentalist Republican Trump type people."
