Again, I thank Ms McDermott for coming in today. We were complaining earlier about people not coming in. That is their right but Ms McDermott has certainly brought the other side to the committee today and I am delighted to learn things about Hugh's House and A Perfect Gift. I was not aware of those organisations and supports. Some people say it is cruel to ask a woman to go through with a pregnancy if she really believes she cannot face it. Is that ever true in Ms McDermott's opinion? Does she think that is cruel?
