The Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018 does not provide for a termination of pregnancy to be carried out on the grounds of a disability.
The Act permits termination to be carried out in cases where there is a risk to the life, or of serious harm to the health, of the pregnant woman; where there is a risk to the pregnant woman’s life or of serious harm to her health in an emergency; where there is a condition present which is likely to lead to the death of the foetus either before or within 28 days of birth; and without restriction up to 12 weeks of pregnancy.
