I wish to concur with Deputy Conway on Deputy Boyd Barrett’s comments. This legislation is for someone like me, Deputy Conway and all child-bearing women. The last thing we need on our mind is a worry whether a doctor will immediately intervene. This legislation gives legal clarity when there is a doubt over how a doctor can intervene with regard to the risk to the life. It is not about whether they will or will not. The language we use at this committee is so crucial.
