I ask Professor Binchy to try to be a bit brief. I am not being rude but we have a time limit. One could view it as an international political conspiracy whereby everybody is trying to orchestrate a position towards broad-ranging abortion provision, or one could interpret it that Professor Binchy's views are very much out of kilter with established norms in terms of international human rights protocol. Nowhere, actually, is there a defined right to life before birth, which does not mean that prenatal interests cannot be protected.
