Ms Christina Zampas:

Ireland is unique in the sense that there is a safety valve for women. Most women go to the UK to get abortions but they also go to other places in Europe. Some even go as far as the United States to get abortions. They have that safety valve. It is not a situation like that in El Salvador where women are dying because they do not have the safety valve of travelling to a country where the practice is legal. However, the case of Savita was known around the world. She died. According to some of the reports produced, at least one of the factors that caused the decision not to give her proper care was the criminal legislation and, potentially, the eighth amendment. To say that there has been no death, that was an unfortunate case-----
