That is what I take from the information myself, but I would like the witnesses to clarify it if they have the capacity to do so. It would be helpful to the committee to know if one country's limit is 12 weeks, but that it is actually ten. Will the witnesses comment on the balancing of the rights of the woman walking around pregnant and the unborn child? How have other countries dealt with that?
