The Human Rights Watch has launched a report entitled A State of Isolation: Access to Abortion for Women in Ireland where it accuses the Irish government of limiting information about how to access abortion services abroad.

According to the report, "rogue" agencies, representing themselves as providers of information about abortion, have told women that, should they choose to have an abortion, their relationships are likely to fail, that they may become infertile or need a hysterectomy, or a colostomy bag after the procedure.

IPPF Member Association from Ireland, IFPA welcomed the report. The association believes that women and girls do not give up their human rights when they become pregnant nor should the State take these human rights away with impunity.
