Most respondents \u2014 56 percent \u2014 supported changing the constitution to allow the government to introduce abortion legislation. Twenty-nine percent said they would vote against this, and 15 percent said they didn\u2019t know or had no opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly two-thirds of respondents (64 percent) agreed with the statement: \u201cThe law in Ireland needs to change to recognize a woman\u2019s right to choose to have an abortion if they wish.\u201d However, 57 percent said they had \u201creservations\u201d about the 12-week proposal but \u201cfeel it is a reasonable compromise\u201d and an improvement on the current situation.<\/p>\n<p>Thirty percent of respondents said they felt abortion was wrong and should not be made more widely available.<\/p>\n<p>The strongest support for legalizing abortion came from 18- to 24-year-olds (74 percent), voters living in Dublin (64 percent), and those in urban areas (60 percent). Among women, 58 percent were in favor and 30 percent opposed; among men, 54 percent were in favor and 29 percent opposed.<\/p>\n<p>The vast majority of respondents \u2014 74 percent \u2014 said their views had not changed on the topic in the last year, but 19 percent said they were more open to the idea than before.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/poll-most-irish-voters-would-vote-in-favor-of-legalizing-abortion\/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&amp;utm_medium=RSS&amp;utm_campaign=RSS_Syndication\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Original Article<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[contf]<br \/>\n[contfnew]<br \/>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRMd3Tz2gX9xSa6CJyaOj2dokBVcrdaT4yY3R3RI7YmL18vCLZZ\"\/><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/&gt;Politico&lt;\/a&gt;&lt;\/h5&gt;_&lt;\/p&gt;[contfnewc]_[contfnewc]_&lt;\/body&gt;&lt;\/html&gt;\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A clear majority of Irish voters would support the introduction of abortion on request up to 12 week..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":61999,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61998","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
