Opinions about When Abortions Should Be Allowed
| Opinions about the circumstances in which having an abortion should be allowed are generally in keeping with the current law on the subject. There is widespread agreement that a woman should be able to terminate her pregnancy if it endangers her life, puts her health at risk, or if the pregnancy is a result of rape or incest (80%, 71% and 73% respectively).
| Of all the circumstances in which abortion is permitted by law, there is least acceptance of foetal abnormality as a reason for termination. Nevertheless, over half of respondents (53%) think that the procedure is also acceptable in this case (30% are of the opposite view).
| According to the majority of respondents difficult financial or personal circumstances, or simply not wanting children, should not be grounds for a legal termination. Three out of four of those asked were against allowing abortions in these cases (75%, 75% and 76% respectively).

| The above data comes from a ‘Current Events and Problems’ survey carried out in March 2016.
