Sažetak

Abortion, as a measure of fertility regulation, has been a
well-known practice in all human societies. With the rise of
modern state this special issue, with the large and complex
medical, social and legal implications, begins to be
regulated by the specific legislation within a single state.
The present paper focuses on the abortion legislation
process in the Republic of Ireland from 1921 up to 1992.
A special emphasis is laid on the legislation changes,
policy making process and abortion policy historical
background. Moreover, the location of the main factors
and circumstances, with a particular stress on the impact
of the European Community regulations, which have
influenced these changes, is made. In dealing with the
topic one might expect a strong ideological impact,
as the powerful Catholic philosophy has been one of the
most evident historical characteristics marking the former
British colony. Finally, the Esping-Andersen's typology of
welfare regimes as an explanatory theoretical model
of the Irish social policy system and the specific area
of AB policy is used.
