Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Report of the Review of the Operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018: Discussion

Dr. Catherine Conlon:

What we heard from the women in our study who were seeking the care in Ireland, they said that what the three-day meant for them was that they were able to make a sound decision and were confident in making that decision. If the premise of the three-day wait is to question the competency of a person to make a decision without that mandated reflection period, the evidence is in opposition to that.
