I move amendment No. 15:

In page 9, lines 14 to 20, to delete all words from and including “where” in line 14 down to and including line 20 and substitute the following:“where—
(a) 2 medical practitioners, having examined the pregnant woman, are of the reasonable opinion formed in good faith that—
(i) there is a risk to the life, or of serious harm to the health, of the pregnant woman,

(ii) the foetus has not reached viability, and

(iii) it is appropriate to carry out the termination of pregnancy in order to avert the risk referred to in subparagraph (i),
or
(b) the pregnant woman deems the risk to her life or health to be unacceptable.”.
