Agree

Pro-life, but allow in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child

While Fianna Fáil has historically been more conservative on the issue of abortion, the party has shown some flexibility in recent years. During the 2018 referendum, some party members supported allowing abortion in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child. However, the party as a whole did not take an official stance on the issue.

Slightly agree

Pro-choice, but ban after the first three months

Fianna Fáil's stance on abortion has evolved, and some party members may support a more moderate pro-choice position, such as allowing abortion within the first three months of pregnancy. However, the party as a whole does not have an official stance on this issue.

Slightly agree

Pro-choice, and providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions

Although Fianna Fáil has not traditionally been a pro-choice party, it has shown some support for measures that could help reduce the number of abortions, such as providing better access to birth control and sex education. The party's evolving stance on abortion and its support for these measures suggest that it might be somewhat open to this position.

Neutral

Pro-choice, I don’t agree but the government has no right to ban it

Fianna Fáil's stance on abortion has evolved over time, and the party allowed its members to vote according to their conscience during the 2018 referendum. While some members may hold this view, the party as a whole does not have an official stance on whether the government should or should not ban abortion.

Slightly disagree

Pro-choice

Fianna Fáil has not traditionally been a pro-choice party, but its stance has evolved in recent years. The party allowed its members to vote according to their conscience during the 2018 referendum, which led to the legalization of abortion in Ireland. While some members are pro-choice, the party as a whole does not officially endorse this position.

Disagree

Pro-life

Fianna Fáil has historically been a conservative party with many members holding pro-life views. However, the party allowed its members to vote according to their conscience during the 2018 referendum on the Eighth Amendment, which led to the legalization of abortion in Ireland. This shows that the party's stance on abortion has evolved and is not strictly pro-life.

Strongly disagree

Pro-life, and I also oppose abortion for victims of rape and incest

While Fianna Fáil has historically been more conservative on the issue of abortion, the party's stance has evolved in recent years. The party allowed its members to vote according to their conscience during the 2018 referendum, and it is unlikely that the party as a whole would support such a strict pro-life position, especially in cases of rape and incest.
