I thank the expert witnesses. One of the points that comes across to me is the lack of certainty as to whether a woman's life is absolutely at risk. I very much empathise with that because my wife had very difficult pregnancies when she was at that stage of her life. My question relates to this. If we are to legislate adequately, is it possible to do so without going back and removing the article in the Constitution which puts great restrictions on abortion?
