That is what we are trying to address in these amendments. As it stands, and in the way the Minister has structured this Bill, including the extra amendments he has introduced on this Stage, the matter is further confused. The Bill does not provide the clarity the Minister claims it will provide but will again leave open the likelihood that any woman subjected to this process would have her life put at risk. We would be back to the same tragic circumstances we saw in Savita's case, the X case and the cases of A, B, C and D. That is the point. We are trying to shift the focus of this Bill to where it should be, on the protection of women's lives which have not been protected until now.
