I want to explore what those who are anti-choice would argue is an abortion industry. The majority of Irish people who currently go to the Netherlands for an abortion attend CASA clinics. There are seven or eight such clinics and they are currently bankrupt. They charge between €350 and €500 for an abortion. Some people in Ireland say there is an abortion industry which is targeting vulnerable women. Being targeted by the abortion industry has not been cited as a reason for an abortion in any of the material members have read or that has been set before the committee. Women in Holland are entitled to free abortions as long as they are insured and legally in the country. If there is an abortion industry in Holland, it is currently bankrupt and possibly carrying out many abortions for free. Perhaps there is a lot of corruption there.
