I want to get through as many questions as possible. Ms McDermott also stated that the abortion rates in countries where the setting has been liberal are much higher than those countries where it is restrictive. All of the evidence that we have heard before this committee, including evidence from the Guttmacher Institute, states that abortions rates, whether in a restrictive setting or a liberal setting, are comparable. I am just wondering where Ms McDermott got that research from.
