Dr. Caitriona Henchion:

With regard to having an abortion for socio-economic grounds, what I am trying to say, and perhaps it is a little complex, is that in so far as the vast majority of abortions are occurring for socio-economic reasons, trying to draw up a list or some formula for deciding whether somebody should be entitled to an abortion on socio-economic grounds is not a practical thing to do and not a practical solution for addressing that issue. The only way to address that issue is by making access more open than that.
