The Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill will come before the Seanad after passing through the Dáil on Thursday night.
If the bill is defeated, it may be returned to the Dáil for another vote, tightening the window the government has to pass it before the summer recess.
Several senators have already warned they will seek amendments – changes being suggested include the removal of jail sentences for those who procure abortions and the deletion of the suicide clause.
