Exactly, but if what we are trying to do is vindicate the woman's right to life and ensure there is no threat to her life, if we were certifying or assessing suicidal ideation in this case than would be the case normally where there was not a pregnancy means that woman's rights are being diluted. She is getting second class rights because there is a pregnancy. I am not a doctor but psychiatrists are saying that under normal circumstances, if somebody were to be certified, all that is required is one psychiatrist and one general practitioner yet in this case the Minister is requiring two psychiatrists and an obstetrician. It is a much higher bar to go through, and then there is the possibility of a review panel, all of which could mean delay, which the Minister says is unacceptable.
