That is great. My next question follows on from that. An anomaly exists in the legislation in the cases of earlier abortions within the 44-day waiting period. There are two cohorts of women involved. Some women are required to have a waiting period and mandatory counselling, but other women are not. I wonder whether any research has been done to gain an understanding of how this process is experienced by both cohorts of women.
