In that context, Professor Binchy said the stark choice facing this committee amounted to the option of wide-ranging abortion. Would he not agree that Ireland has an abortion rate pretty much the same as other countries in which abortion is freely available? In actual fact, the question is whether people can access an abortion service at home or, as is the case under the present status quo which Professor Binchy seems to be defending, the only people who cannot avail of abortion are those who cannot travel - vulnerable women, women with disabilities, women who are refugees or asylum seekers and so on. Do we allow people to access health care at home? Do we allow those who can travel somewhere else to do so? What is the answer to that issue? Do we detain women as they do in El Salvador? I am not sure how we would do that.
