Dr. Brendan O'Shea:

We understand that most of the time in those circumstances the pregnancy is continued with as an unplanned pregnancy and proceeds to parenthood. We understand that will have a range of consequences on the wellness of the woman and an impact on her family. We can describe those in detail. It is a cause of concern. In the situation the Senator describes, it is the most likely outcome. There is an understanding that poorly regulated fertility is a significant contributor to poverty and poverty in turn is associated with a variety of adverse health effects. That is the main part of the answer to the Senator's question.
