Ireland to Hold a Referendum on Abortion

The New York Times

The Irish government has agreed to hold a referendum at the end of May on whether to reform the country's near-total ban on abortion, BBC reports.

The vote will decide whether to repeal a constitutional amendment that effectively bans terminations. Currently abortion is only allowed when a woman's life is at risk, but not in cases of rape, incest or fatal foetal abnormality.

Prime Minister Leo Varadkar has said that he will campaign for reform.
