Irish medical profession

A primary reason why abortions are not carried out is the courage displayed by the Irish medical profession in resisting the introduction of the death culture. The Irish Medical Council, the governing body for the profession, has always held abortion as unethical. Moreover the abhorrence of the Irish people for abortion has shown the Government that legislation for abortion would be vigorously and widely opposed. In the absence of such legislation pro-abortionists have no battering ram to use against the Medical Council guidelines.
