I thank Dr. McCarthy for coming in. I have to take him up on something he said earlier about people saying back in 2013 or 2012 in the committee that I was a member of that there would be bus loads of psychiatrists coming in to allow abortions if the 2013 legislation went through. Can the witness enlighten us as to who claimed that or is he quoting from the records? I do not remember anyone claiming that at the committee at that time.
