In Ireland, a predominantly Catholic country, the constitution bans abortion. But following a referendum held in 1992, a "don't ask and don't tell" policy was adopted, which has enabled Irish women to go abroad to have abortions and allowed information regarding abortion to be disseminated within Ireland.
信仰天主教的愛爾蘭，憲法明文禁止墮胎，但在一九九二年實施公民投票，採取「眼不見為淨」的作法，同意愛爾蘭婦女到外國墮胎，並允許國外的墮胎資訊在愛爾蘭境內傳播。
