NEW YORK–(ENEWSPF)–March 13, 2014. Today the Center for Reproductive Rights filed its second challenge to Ireland’s abortion laws before the United Nations Human Rights Committee. The Center filed this case on behalf of Siobhán Whelan, who was forced by Ireland’s harsh restrictions on abortion to travel to the United Kingdom to obtain safe and legal abortion services after she learned that she was carrying a fetus with a fatal anomaly.
