Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution

International Context: Dr. Patricia Lohr, British Pregnancy Advisory Service

1:30 pm

Dr. Patricia Lohr:

I am a bit biased because I am extremely proud to work for BPAS. We are viewed as a safe pair of hands for abortion care. We are viewed as an organisation which champions the ability of women to make decisions about when and whether to parent or carry a pregnancy. We are viewed as a fiscally responsibly organisation, as a charity. We are a not-for-profit organisation and because we provide good abortion services, we are seen as being experts in providing abortion care, particularly in the second trimester and for early medical abortion.
