Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We made a decision in this Oireachtas that disability and severe disability should not be grounds for terminating a pregnancy. We decided that a woman was free to choose to end her pregnancy for any reason, or none, up to 12 weeks but after that it would have to be because of a risk to her health, a risk to her life or a diagnosis of fatal foetal abnormality. We decided that as a House. If the Deputy wants to reopen the debate about whether disability should be grounds for termination, that is the her choice. It is not that we chickened out. We decided as a House. We said during the referendum campaign when we asked people to vote "Yes", or at least I did, that we would not allow disability to be grounds for terminations after 12 weeks.
