If the decision is taken to repeal the eighth amendment and allow for terminations in limited circumstances, is it the position of the witnesses that we need to address the issue of criminalisation regardless of the circumstances that may or may not be decided by this committee? Would the three witnesses be in agreement that the issue of criminalisation has to be addressed and that criminalisation obviously needs to be removed?
