Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution
Obstetric Medicine in the Netherlands: Professor Sjef Gevers and Professor Eva Pajkrt, University of Amsterdam
2:00 pm
Professor Eva Pajkrt:
We are well aware of the womenonweb.orgwebsite but I have no idea about numbers or how many people are accessing it. All the abortion clinics in the Netherlands have a contract with a hospital. If there is a complication, the individual will be able to refer to a hospital that can deal with the complication. I do not believe there will be any boundaries for women who have access to pills via the Internet. If they have a complication, they can freely walk into a hospital and we will manage the situation.
