It was to do with the numbers. The number of women accessing abortion pills increases while the number travelling decreases, but the number of those accessing counselling remains low. I do not want to put words in Ms Donlon's mouth but, given that the services are very widely advertised and easily accessible for women and they are not accessing them, I am taking that as an indication that it would be reasonable to assume that women are happy with the choice they have made.
