Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution

Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Constitutional Issues Arising from the Citizens Assembly Recommendations

1:30 pm

Ms Christina Zampas:

I was referring to pregnant women seeking abortions. I also understand that there have been reports indicating that the eighth amendment has impacted upon the treatment of pregnant women during childbirth. For women with wanted pregnancies who wish to continue their pregnancy, there have been reports that the eighth amendment has impacted on health care providers' decisions on the quality of care those women receive. I have read reports of that.
