A woman in Ireland was denied an abortion despite the country recently passing legislation to make it legal.

The woman now plans to travel to England, a well trodden path for Irish woman, to get an abortion to terminate the fetus after it was found to be showing a 'fatal abnormality'. 

The Coombe hospital, a leading maternity facility in Dublin, reportedly refused to terminate the pregnancy because it did not 'fall neatly' into a fatal foetal abnormality diagnosis.  Irish woman the soul of a witch the fire of a lioness shirt.

Ireland had a constitutional ban on abortions until an historic vote made it legal as of January 1 this year. 

After that, between nine and 12 weeks, hospitals perform them with a decision being made afterwards when there are 'exceptional circumstances'. 

The woman contacted politicians over the matter and they raised the issue yesterday in Irish parliament. 

'Her words to me were: "This is not what I voted for. I have constitutional rights," Bríd Smith, of the People Before Profit party, told the Dáil chamber.

'She is finding it hard to sleep, knowing the condition her much-wanted child is in. She wants a termination. She is entitled to it. This country voted for it. It is the law.' 

The Dáil has heard that a woman who was 14 weeks pregnant carrying a baby with a fatal foetal abnormality was denied an abortion at The Coombe Hospital in Dublin.

"I've been contacted by a woman who has a fatal foetal abnormality, that has been certified by two consultants, and now it appears that the board of the Coombe Hospital, is refusing her constitutional right that we all voted for, to have an abortion at a time she chooses," said Coppinger.
