Last May, the Eighth Amendment to the Irish constitution, which protected the rights of the unborn, was overturned via national referendum. In December, the Irish Parliament passed a law making abortions legal<\/a>. And since that time, great pressure has been put upon medical professionals in Ireland. For example, the National Maternity Hospital in Dublin has some positions to fill — but if you have any qualms with providing abortions, don\u2019t even think about applying.<\/p>\n

The hospital is looking<\/a> for a consultant anesthesiologist and obstetrician gynecologist. Some of the duties they will have to perform include teaching, administration, and management duties which, according to the ad seen in the tweet below, \u201cas of 2019 includes elective terminations of pregnancy services and the post-holders will be expected to contribute to this new service as part of their practice plan.\u201d<\/p>\n
