There should be no confusion on this point whatsoever in any hospital in Ireland. I wholeheartedly support the sections of the Bill which deal with evidence-based medical treatment. However, this abortion Bill will introduce a radical change from the status quo. For the first time treatment for suicidal ideation or intent in one person will include ending the life of another person. For the first time the law will allow for the direct and intentional ending of life without medical evidence or a basis in science. People need to be very clear. This abortion Bill is not a medical or psychiatric response to suicidal ideation. This abortion Bill is a political response to a flawed medical evidence-free Supreme Court judgment.
