I am struck today by the 13 or 14 psychiatrists we have had before us, by the care and compassion each of them has displayed and the holistic approach they use to assess their clients and patients. I am inclined to conclude, and agree with Dr. Ó Domhnaill, that abortion is a medieval solution to crisis pregnancy. How - he may have a legal opinion on this - can we clarify the law to satisfy the European Court of Human Rights without writing new law?
