What would you suggest if the 8th Amendment is removed?
In the thread below (also posted in current affairs) there's lots of discussion on whether the 8th Amendment should be repealed.
http://www.politics.ie/forum/current-affairs/250424-repeal-8th.html
In this thread could we please have posters suggestions as to what should happen in the event of the 8th Amendment being removed from our constitution.
What legislation would you like to see introduced in relation to abortion? Would you restrict abortion for say sex selection or late term abortions?
And is it actually possible to restrict abortion if, as another poster has suggested (hat tip to parentheses), there is any attempt to limit the mother's right to an abortion (it might be considered unconstitutional - Privacy and Bodily integrity - like in the U.S.).
Perhaps amending rather than removing the 8th amendment should be explored?
