Termination in Cases of Foetal Abnormality: Ms Liz McDermott, One Day More
1:30 pm
Ms Liz McDermott:
The Deputy mentions a not-for-profit basis, but very lucrative salaries are paid to the people who work in the sector. We are not going to be able to provide it for free. When I say profit, I mean that it is very profitable, and it is incentivised. Marie Stopes was criticised for looking for employees to be paid bonuses. That inevitably brings pressure to bear on women.
