The key thing here is to give clarity to the Government and the Oireachtas in drafting the legislation about the opinion. The problem is we are comparing apples and oranges. We have done it a different method. Why do we not do "no restrictions as to reasons up to 12 weeks" or whatever the actual vote was - 22 weeks, the way the Citizens' Assembly actually did it on the gestational periods so that we are absolutely clear?
