Wallace defends abortion bill

The Independent TD wants to introduce new laws allowing abortions in cases of fatal foetal abnormalities.

However the Attorney General has signalled that the legislation would be unconstitutional and the Taoiseach has called it 'bad for women'.

The bill has also caused a rift between Cabinet colleagues and triggered a backlash against Enda Kenny as Independent Ministers look like they'll ignore his advice and vote in favour of the legislation this afternoon.

Mick Wallace still doesn't know if his bill will pass, but says it should be given a shot.
