I agree with the Minister's last point. In fact, one of the main problems with the legislation is that it is very difficult to foresee every situation that might arise. However, the principle I am trying to establish is quite simple, namely, that where there are two equally effective ways of dealing with a threat to the life of a woman, one of which would result in the loss of the life of the unborn and the other not, that doctors would be obliged to opt for the latter option.
