A point was made earlier about the abortion rate in the UK being four times as high as the Irish rate. Did someone get clarity on that in my absence? I thought we heard earlier today that that there is no such thing as data in areas that have no abortions or where people seek illegal abortions. That was being quoted here but we do not actually know the official rate. It is important to clarify that point on the figure. Technically, we do not know the rate here. It is being bandied around here.
