Given that the medics stated there was no problem in dealing with patients and no record of inhibitions on the part of medical professionals because of current legislation, do the witnesses accept that opinion?

Do they think it beyond the capacity of this society to deal with crises other than where a real and substantial risk arises to the life of the mother from a physical medical condition in a way that offers support and medical counselling to save the life of the mother and her baby so that they can enjoy each other in future years?
