Resumen

Este artículo examina la actual legislación irlandesa sobre el aborto desde la perspectiva del derecho constitucional irlandés. En primer lugar, explora las dificultades constitucionales localizadas tanto en el texto de la ley como en las interpretaciones establecidas de sus disposiciones. En segundo lugar, describe los derechos constitucionales que se aplican al aborto en el orden constitucional posterior a 2018; en particular, los derechos de las mujeres que solicitan un aborto a la integridad corporal, a no sufrir tratos degradantes, a la intimidad y a la igualdad. Sostiene que, en determinados casos, los efectos combinados de los plazos legislativos y las sanciones penales ponen en peligro los derechos constitucionales. En tercer lugar, aplica este análisis a cuatro cuestiones específicas: (i) anomalía fetal mortal, (ii) violencia sexual, (iii) riesgo para la salud, y (iv) aborto en embarazos precoces. Por último, examina las recientes recomendaciones de cambio legislativo, evaluando si son suficientes para reivindicar los derechos constitucionales de las solicitantes de aborto.

PALAVRAS CLAVE: Irlanda; aborto; derecho constitucional; derechos reproductivos; reforma legislativa.
