Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution
International Context: Dr. Patricia Lohr, British Pregnancy Advisory Service

Dr. Patricia Lohr:
I want to make a clarification on something that Senator Mullen said in his opening statement. He said that BPAS provides abortion up to birth, which is absolutely not the case. BPAS, as with all non-hospital based providers in the UK under regulation, may only provide abortions to 24 weeks of gestation.
