Can Ms O'Shea see that level of care being open to abuse, as in not being able to actually assess the gestational stage of the pregnancy if there is somebody in domestic abuse, not having face-to-face consultation with the doctor in order to know that the person is suffering domestic abuse, and not being able to see that person's bruises to realise that the person may be coerced into having that abortion? Does Ms O'Shea not feel that is a factor?
