Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I note that many of the doctors who are now leading the charge on some of the issues referenced by Deputy Tóibín were among those who led the No campaign, and that is fine. It is not a criticism; it is just a fact. They do not want abortion in this country because they do not support it. That is their right as citizens. I will defend forever the right of a doctor or healthcare professional to object conscientiously, but I will not stand over conscientious obstruction. I have spoken about the fundamental difference between the two. It is beyond doubt that every medical professional has the right to object conscientiously.
