Dr. Anthony McCarthy:

In my initial years after I came back from the UK I saw women who may not have told their obstetricians they had had terminations. They would come into the hospital and say they had one child or no children. On the second or third time I would see them, they would then tell me about a termination they had. Now, I am much more likely to hear such information at the very beginning. Of course there are changes. When I first came back, women with fatal foetal abnormalities got no information and got no support from my obstetric colleagues. Now there is a completely different culture and attitude towards that.
