-----what is she going to do only have an abortion?

Women in such a state can have dark days and down days, but what if the information and supports were given to them? What if advice were given to them as to the supports available, the things they could have or the other roads they could go down? There are so many advertisements here about smoking, road safety, mental health and suicide prevention, and this could be a part of it. After having aborted a child, we know for a fact that women become very upset and suicidal. No one can deny that because I have learned it from people who had abortions themselves. What is so wrong about saving one life or a couple of lives? I say to the Minister and any other Deputy who is trying to say otherwise that I do not see anything at all wrong with it.
