The majority of Irish people favour some constitutional protection for the life of the unborn, according to results of a national poll released yesterday by an anti-abortion group.
The poll, conducted by Milward Brown Lansdowne on behalf of the Pro Life Campaign, asked 984 adults: “Are you in favour or opposed to constitutional protection for the unborn that prohibits abortion but allows the continuation of the existing practice of intervention to save a mother’s life, in accordance with Irish medical ethics?”
