In her opening statement Dr. Lohr spoke about the rate of abortion in countries with highly restrictive abortion laws is comparable with that in countries with more liberal frameworks. Dr. Lohr referenced that research. Some people in Ireland argue that by virtue of the fact Ireland has the eighth amendment in the Constitution - even though there are other amendments that permit travel and information - it has saved lives when a woman has completed the pregnancy and gone on to have the baby. Would Dr. Lohr's assessment be that this contradicts that argument?
