Chan eil e idir ceadaichte do bhoireannaich casg-breith a bhith aca ann an Èirinn a Tuath  – cho fad agus nach eil am beatha ann an cunnart. Tha seo air a bhith na chuspair caran connspaideach, gu h-àraidh bho dh’fhosgail Ionad Marie Stopes ann am Beul Feirste bho chionn còrr is bliadhna.

Sin barrachd na an Fhraing, an Òlaind, no Poblachd nan Seic. Dè tha ag adhbharachadh seo ged-thà, is cò tha fulang ri linn? Tha Darren Linc air a bhith a’ rannsachadh na cùise.
