Irish politician Lisa Chambers, who is pro-abortion, continues to receive criticism for her dismissive and demeaning comments last week about women who experience regret following an abortion<\/a>. During a debate in the Da\u00edl, Ireland\u2019s Parliament, Chambers claimed<\/a>, \u201cAbortion regret is a makey-uppy thing, and it does not exist.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chambers\u2019 inflammatory comments were part of her speech railing against a proposed amendment that would require women to receive an ultrasound before undergoing an abortion. The bill was introduced by TDs Carol Nolan and Peadar T\u00f3ib\u00edn, who said<\/a>, \u201cWe represent citizens who have told us they have experienced abortion regret.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chambers fired back with her dismissive claim that abortion regret \u201cdoes not exist,\u201d and claimed that the ultrasound legislation had nothing to do with women\u2019s \u201cconsent\u201d and was solely out of \u201cfaux concern for women.\u201d However, mandating that abortionists offer women an ultrasound is precisely<\/em> about ensuring consent. Many women do not know the level of development of their preborn children when seeking an abortion, and if they do not have access to complete information, they cannot truly give informed consent.<\/p>\n
