That would be great. Criminalisation could impact a partner or a parent who might order abortion pills. As we all know, that happened to the mother of a young teenager. She was charged in that respect and the case is ongoing in Northern Ireland. The likely result will be that medical professionals will interpret the law conservatively and patients will be denied care. I highlight that issue. I thank our guests for their comprehensive statements.
