Yes. I thank all three witnesses for their presentations. I am finding the testimony of the medical experts and professionals very powerful and telling because they are people who are dedicated to the care and health of others. They have a very clear message.

I want to ask a question about the thousands of women who travel each year to Britain for abortions. We know that because they have to travel it means the termination will be delayed by a number of weeks. Is the fact the terminations are delayed because the women have to travel a significant factor in terms of the health of those women? That question is open to any of the witnesses.
