Rónán Mullen: -----would be interested enough to pursue the question of whether it ever occurs that babies survive abortion procedures and what happens to them in various jurisdictions.

Report on the Joint Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Statements (Resumed) (23 Jan 2018)

Mary Butler: People always said, "Congratulations, you are expecting a baby". It is my firm belief that the unborn baby must be protected in the Constitution. That is certainly where my vote will be.

Everything to be found in a fully grown person...
