I wish to put on the record of the House a quote from the Irish Family Planning Association:

In many countries where abortion is legal, the exercise of conscientious objection has frustrated and delayed women's access to lawful abortion, or women have been refused care. Because the issue in question is the refusal of care where there is a risk to a woman's life, the legislation must provide adequate safeguards against refusal of care.
