I am calling on you to ensure that no one who initiates a legal abortion in Ireland is forced to travel if their abortion fails, and they then pass the 12-week mark. 
 
Doctors must be permitted to care for patients in Ireland when a medical abortion fails. Anyone whose abortion procedure was legally initiated in good faith, should be able to terminate their pregnancy in Ireland.

Ninety-eight out of 100 medical abortions succeed. That means two out of every 100 patients may have a failed abortion. Abortion Support Network recently helped a number of Irish residents who had to travel to England to access follow-up abortion care after the abortion pills they took failed. No one should have to endure the stress, expense, and logistical challenges of travel abroad to complete medical treatment they initiated legally in Ireland, especially during a global pandemic. 
 
I am asking you to act now, to ensure abortion provision in Ireland lives up to its commitment. I look forward to hearing your response about the action you are going to take to ensure that people in this situation receive the care they need.
