Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: International Legal and Services Context: Dr. Gilda Sedgh, Guttmacher Institute and Ms Leah Hoctor, Center for Reproductive Rights (8 Nov 2017)

Peter Fitzpatrick: I welcome the delegates for whom I have two questions, the first of which is for Ms Hoctor. I note that all of her comments were focused on making the case for abortion. Therefore, it would be fair for me to say hers is a campaigning organisation.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: International Legal and Services Context: Dr. Gilda Sedgh, Guttmacher Institute and Ms Leah Hoctor, Center for Reproductive Rights (8 Nov 2017)

Peter Fitzpatrick: Has the organisation ever criticised any aspect of the abortion industry? I do not expect Ms Hoctor to comment on specifics, but she may be aware, for example, that in recent weeks the Care Quality Commission in the United Kingdom brought to light information that Marie Stopes International gave bonuses to its staff members for convincing women to go through with an abortion, even in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: International Legal and Services Context: Dr. Gilda Sedgh, Guttmacher Institute and Ms Leah Hoctor, Center for Reproductive Rights (8 Nov 2017)

Peter Fitzpatrick: I have referred to vulnerable women who had made up their mind not to have an abortion, yet bonuses are paid to staff members who convince the women in question to change their mind. The centre must criticise such a practice. It cannot stand for it for one moment. To me, such a practice is totally and utterly wrong. Committee members have said women leave Ireland and spend a lot of money...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: International Legal and Services Context: Dr. Gilda Sedgh, Guttmacher Institute and Ms Leah Hoctor, Center for Reproductive Rights (8 Nov 2017)

Peter Fitzpatrick: I must leave to attend the meeting of the Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach which is taking place next door at which a vote will take place. I will return in about five minutes to ask Dr. Sedgh my final question. Is that okay?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: International Legal and Services Context: Dr. Gilda Sedgh, Guttmacher Institute and Ms Leah Hoctor, Center for Reproductive Rights (8 Nov 2017)

Peter Fitzpatrick: I apologise to the Chair but there was an issue with the Finance Bill. My question is for Dr. Sedgh. I know that in recent years she has severed her links officially with the International Planned Parenthood Federation, IPPF, but I think I am right in saying she has a long historical link with that group, which is one of the largest abortion providers in the world. I note that, in her...
