I thank Dr. Henchion. In respect of people accessing medication online, she has said that abortion is a relatively safe procedure, but it is obviously not safe in every set of circumstances and needs to be carried out in a health care context. What kind of risks are we talking about? With specific regard to pills ordered online, is there a health risk or a risk to life? Will Dr. Henchion articulate any such risks?
