The wording is:
That the committee recommend that surgical terminations may only be legally carried out in a hospital or licensed clinic, and that medical terminations should be provided for through the licensing of medications for that purpose and prescribed by a qualified practitioner acting in good faith. Where terminations occur in such settings, no criminal sanctions should apply, and in cases where a woman procures or seeks to procure an abortion for herself regardless of the circumstances, that she be no guilty of an offence and that legislation to that end be put in place.
Those in favour say, "Tá".
