Yes. Why do the professionals not say clearly and simply that they know what to do if there is a threat to the life of the mother and that they can get on with it? No one has discussed the post-abortion recovery counselling that is needed for those poor, unfortunate girls and women who have gone to England to have abortions. Their voices have only been heard by a few of us. In fact, they asked to be present and to be heard, but were told that, because of arrangements, it was not possible. This is a screaming void.
