I will not labour the point. Abortion is a serious issue. From my perspective, there are two individuals involved. In most countries that provide for abortions, women die from legal abortions. It needs to be put on the record. Patient safety is important. If people want to change it, it will be possible to change it in the Dáil in future years. Before we do that, we should consult all the people in the health sector to understand their perspectives on it rather than legislating for it now.
