Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children
Heads of Protection of Life during Pregnancy Bill 2013: Public Hearings (Resumed)
5:10 pm
Dr. Jacqueline Montwill:
So many questions were asked. I do not accept the outcome of the Supreme Court case because the judges stated there was a real and substantial risk that could only be averted by abortion. That is never the case because all real and substantial risk can be averted by treatment and assessment. There were some problems with the decision.
