Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution Act 1992 (previously bill no. 26 of 1992) is an amendment to the Constitution of Ireland which specified that the protection of the right to life of the unborn did not limit the right to distribute information about services in foreign countries. It was one of three referendums on abortion held on 25 November 1992. It was approved and signed into law on 23 December of the same year.
It has been suggested that this article be merged with Twelfth Amendment of the Constitution Bill 1992 and Thirteenth Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland to November 1992 Irish constitutional referendums. (Discuss) Proposed since February 2024. |
