I did not use the word "force". I said "ask". Perhaps Ms McDermott can speak a bit about the harm that occurs when we continue to describe very sick unborn babies as having fatal foetal or life-limiting conditions or conditions incompatible with life. She knows that after a group travelled to Geneva and lobbied, and I introduced a Private Members' Bill, the HSE changed the language it used around this area. I was surprised that Ms Justice Laffoy allowed the use of the term at the Citizens' Assembly despite the HSE having issued guidelines. Could Ms McDermott elaborate on that?
