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
Professor William Binchy:
It is a stark choice. What emerged from the discussion today – it would be clear to anyone who has witnessed the three and a half or four hours of the meeting – is that a stark choice is going to face the people. Are we going to continue to have the present situation, which does protect mother and child, or are we going to have a situation of wide-ranging legal abortion?
