That is how much they love both, and we heard all the guff in 1983 about how they were going to help people.

I will finish by mentioning one inaccuracy that needs to be corrected and it concerns the abortion pill. Based on two of the websites, Women on Web and Women Help Women, five people a day in Ireland are estimated to use these pills. We should be accurate and not scare people about the pills. The pills are very safe. There is medical supervision in that there is a doctor-led service. It should be acknowledged that they are doctors who stepped in when doctors in Ireland would not. The real danger, however, is the fact that the law prevents people from seeking any help in the 3% of cases where they may need follow-up care. I am proud to have promoted abortion pills with ROSA and others.

They are described as safe by the World Health Organization and I think we should be accurate about that.
