Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Business of Joint Committee (22 Nov 2017)

Anne Rabbitte: I hear everything the speakers before me have said and I agree with what Deputy O'Connell has just said. It was to examine and have a good variation between urban and rural. We have had the World Health Organization and the best of people before us. The only reason for my fair, balanced and reasoned commentary last week was that there is a narrative out there. The last thing I want when I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: International Context: Dr. Patricia Lohr, British Pregnancy Advisory Service (22 Nov 2017)

Anne Rabbitte: I thank Dr. Lohr for her presentation earlier. I am seeking clarification more than anything else because many of the questions have been asked. Perhaps Dr. Lohr could explain this to me. It is possibly a lack of understanding on my behalf but when a person presents for an abortion at one of the British Pregnancy Advisory Service clinics - I am just trying to tease out the idea here - is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: International Context: Dr. Patricia Lohr, British Pregnancy Advisory Service (22 Nov 2017)

Anne Rabbitte: I was merely curious.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: International Context: Dr. Patricia Lohr, British Pregnancy Advisory Service (22 Nov 2017)

Anne Rabbitte: Yes, particularly for late presentations. If a person has presented at 20, 23 or 24 weeks, and this goes back to the viability, does BPAS give her the opportunity of the conversation beforehand or do women come with a definite mind that they are there to have the procedure performed?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Termination in Cases of Foetal Abnormality: One Day More (Resumed) (22 Nov 2017)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Termination in Cases of Foetal Abnormality: One Day More (Resumed) (22 Nov 2017)

Anne Rabbitte: To me, they are not, to be honest with Ms McDermott. When I talk about risk to the mother, I think about the mother whose life is at risk and who could have three other children at home. That is the life of the mother. That is why I sit on this committee. I have sat here for the past number of weeks to welcome the people here to inform me. This is the one part I battle with. I battle...

Anne Rabbitte: No doctor will say that it is at present because, under the legislation, we have his or her hands tied. Legally, they are tied because there is a 14 year sentence for them to make a decision.
