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:

It implies a certain idea that women are unable to make decisions on their own. It questions women's decision-making agency when states impose mandatory psychological counselling beforehand or waiting periods. A woman has already usually made a very clear decision on what she wants by the time she seeks an abortion. I just wanted to make that clear.
