It is important in order to inform the type of review which must be conducted. We are talking about access to abortion. In fairness, points made by everybody on all sides of the House during the debate yesterday demonstrated that Members want access not just for some people but for all women. I am particularly struck, for example, by the document submitted earlier from Disabled Women Ireland in respect of access to this legislation for women with disabilities and so on. It is critical that we would examine this to ascertain whether the legislation is fit for purpose. Crucially, the question of access for women in Northern Ireland needs to be evaluated and affirmed.
