Supposing Ms McDermott's vision and mine, as it happens, does not prevail, and the State withdraws legal and social support for these very sick babies in these situations, would that lead to more people having abortions or terminating the pregnancy? Does Ms McDermott think it would impact on the culture? Does she foresee any other consequences?
