Ms Marie O'Shea:

I really think so. When I took on this research, the scope of it was very much to look at when people access termination of pregnancy up to 12 weeks and not beyond that. I have definitely received criticism that I did not go along with the World Health Organization guidelines and extend without restriction up to 20 weeks or 22 weeks in keeping with international human rights bodies. I have tried as much as possible to keep to the terms of reference, to the aspects in front of me and to look at the themes that emerged.
