Termination in Cases of Foetal Abnormality: Ms Liz McDermott, One Day More

1:30 pm

Ms Liz McDermott:

She could not travel. I am not saying it was about convenience but that she said it was not possible for her to travel, as I recall. That meant she had to continue with her pregnancy. I think that is the point the Deputy is making. That awful experience that she had during her pregnancy gave rise or contributed to the PTSD.
