I propose the insertion of "regardless of the circumstances". If we are saying that terminations can be carried out in a hospital or licensed clinic, or through the licensing of medications, that is the correct way to do it, but if a woman accesses a termination outside of those two grounds, she should not face any criminal sanction. That is my difficulty.
