Termination in Cases of Foetal Abnormality: One Day More (Resumed)
1:30 pm
Ms Liz McDermott:
If abortion was not harmful to women there would be no such thing as abortion regret. There would be no such thing as women turning to drink. Even in the case of well-known people, somebody like Stevie Nicks has said she had an abortion because the father did not care whether she kept the baby. Women are very vulnerable.
