It is hoped by all members currently in the room that Ireland will move to a situation where it will be possible to get rid of the constitutional ban on abortion. I am sure Professor Pajkrt, as a lawyer, is aware of that constitutional ban. If it is removed, legislation will then have to be considered. I am trying to tease out the distinction between what we call socioeconomic reasons and what the witness refers to social reasons and those in the other horrible and hopefully very rare cases. If abortion were only to be allowed in such horrible and, hopefully, very rare cases, there would still be an extremely prohibitive abortion regime. Does Professor Pajkrt agree with that view?
