I welcome the expert witnesses. The evidence I have heard in the past two days has confirmed the mother and the unborn child get the best of care in Ireland. Doctors are doing their best to protect the mother and the unborn child and the mother and child are seen as two patients. It was also confirmed yesterday that women who have abortions increase their risk of mental health problems such as depression and substance abuse. Women who have abortions are more likely to commit suicide, while motherhood protects against suicide. What are the opinions of the expert witnesses on those matters?
