If we use all our time here, so be it. The presentation was absolutely excellent. I was struck by Dr. Henchion's comment that unintended pregnancy is a frequent occurrence. This committee has spent a great deal of time considering circumstances of rape, fatal foetal abnormality and the woman's health. In the experience of the IFPA, the majority of women who decide to access abortion would not fit into those categories. Perhaps she will expand on that and, by implication, what that means for this committee. We have been looking at reasons but, in fact, the real circumstances of women accessing abortion fall outside of those reasons. What does Dr. Henchion think is the best way for us to deal with the task we have been given?
