One in six pregnancies now ends in abortion in Ireland, according to new data from the Department of Health.
It has also been revealed that there were 10,600 abortions in 2025 – an increase from 2,879 in 2018. 65,000 abortions have taken place since the 2018 law took effect.
Pro Life Campaign spokesperson Eilís Mulroy called the figures “deeply concerning”, stating that it is “65,000 reasons why government policy in this area has to change.”
Mulroy called for the introduction of a state-backed service to ensure that women conflicted about having an abortion could access timely information and practical support if they wished to continue their pregnancy.
