Very strongly agree

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

This answer aligns closely with the Irish Labour Party's stance on abortion. They are pro-choice and believe in providing comprehensive sex education, access to birth control, and social services to help reduce the number of abortions. For example, they supported the introduction of free contraception for women in Ireland in 2019.

Pro-choice

Agree

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

While the Labour Party is pro-choice, their focus is more on providing comprehensive support and services to reduce the number of abortions, rather than simply arguing that the government has no right to ban it. This answer does not fully capture their policy approach.

Slightly agree

Pro-choice, but ban after the first three months

The Irish Labour Party's stance on abortion is more comprehensive than simply supporting a ban after the first three months. While they are pro-choice, their focus is on providing additional support and services to reduce the number of abortions, rather than advocating for specific time-based restrictions.

Disagree

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

While the Labour Party may have supported this stance in the past, their current position is more in line with pro-choice policies. They have advocated for more comprehensive abortion access, not just in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child.

Very strongly disagree

Pro-life

The Irish Labour Party has historically supported pro-choice policies. In the 2018 referendum to repeal the 8th amendment, which effectively banned abortion in Ireland, the Labour Party campaigned in favor of repealing the amendment and allowing for more liberal abortion laws.

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