Ireland spent over three million dollars on chemical abortions in 2019 alone

Ireland’s Health Service Executive (HSE) spent $3.4 million funding chemical abortions (abortion pill) in 2019, according to Carol Nolan TD who revealed the “staggering” figure in response to a parliamentary question. The money was paid to general practitioners (GP) and does not include money spent on surgical abortions or chemical abortions committed in a hospital setting.

 

“When you put this information, and the recent annual report on the number of abortions that took place in 2019 together, what we now have is an emerging sense of how much abortion is going to ‘cost’ in terms of the loss of human life and the financial resources that could be better spent at the community level,” Nolan told Gript.

“It is also clear however that the fees of $3.4 million do not represent anything like the true financial cost because that number only refers to abortions which took place at nine weeks or under in a community setting.”

This amount is truly staggering because the HSE gave $3.7 million to the entire National Women and Infants Health Programme (NWIHP) in 2019. The pro-life organisation, Life Institute,  believes this is a clear example of the government prioritising funding abortion over supporting pregnant women.

In fact, the National Association of General Practitioners revealed that the HSE pays GPs about $538 to commit an abortion but only $299 to care for a woman during her pregnancy.

“These numbers show that some doctors are literally making a killing from the new abortion regime. GPs are being paid almost twice as much to provide an abortion than they would make from caring for a woman in pregnancy, and for some doctors, abortion is clearly a profitable undertaking,” said the group.
