I need a chance to put the question first. Even if that is done, there are still a large number of mothers who would have been able to participate in this discussion. The witnesses said at the start of the meeting, and correct me if I am wrong in this, that an ethicist would not necessarily allow for a person like themselves to speak to mothers who had opted not to have the abortion and to have their child, and that is one of the reasons the review did not proceed to interview one of the women in that cohort.
