You may have heard people talking about this week's RTE Investigates documentary on the fact that many Irish people are still being forced to travel to access abortion services. The issues raised are really troubling, and it seems that many people weren't aware of the awful circumstances in which people still find themselves in around pregnancy in this country. This week I caught up with Annie Tidbury, Service Manager of the Abortion Support Network, a volunteer-run service which assists people in accessing abortion. Sadly, Ireland is still in the top two countries they hear from. We talked about why there are still barriers and what we can do to make change.
