Women should be given the option to terminate their pregnancies if they are the victim of rape or incest, the Together for Yes campaign has said.
Maeve Eogan, medical director of the Sexual Assault Treatment Unit (SATU) at Dublin’s Rotunda Hospital, said women who conceive as a result of sexual violence currently have two options available to them - to travel abroad or to continue with their pregnancy.
