Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution

Medical Law Review: Dr. Ruth Fletcher, Queen Mary University London

1:30 pm

Dr. Ruth Fletcher:

No, I am not engaging in a strategic argument in that way at all. I am trying to deliver on what is a complex range of people's wishes that are not black and white in terms of the relationship of reproduction in which a pregnant woman and a foetus are involved. I accept that people who are against all abortions would not accept that rationale.
