No. 29 of 2018Thirty-sixth Amendment of the Constitution Bill 2018
Public bill · Government · Presented
The proposal would change the Constitution so that laws can be made to regulate termination of pregnancy. In plain terms, it would remove the constitutional obstacle to the Oireachtas passing abortion laws, leaving the details to future legislation. It matters because it would open the way for Ireland’s laws on pregnancy termination to be set by elected lawmakers rather than the Constitution itself.
