Over 90% of women in Ireland using early abortion services self-managed their abortion at home, a new report has shown.

The Irish Family Planning Association’s annual report for 2019 showed that the vast majority of patients were able to manage their early abortion at home and did not require a hospital visit.

IFPA’s report also showed that almost half of the women who presented at their clinics for their early abortion services were mothers. Almost 70% of patients were not using contraception when they became pregnant, while 20% were using condoms and 8% the contraceptive pill. About 4% had used long-acting contraceptives, the morning after pill, or the withdrawal method.
