The point I was getting at is whether the witnesses think the fact it is illegal has ever stopped a woman from having an abortion.

I will move on. If a woman tells Dr. O'Shea or Dr. Hanley that she does not have the money to travel but has made up her mind to have an abortion, are they allowed to say anything about the availability of medical abortion pills which would save her that journey?
