Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Report Stage (Resumed) (10 Jul 2013)

Terence Flanagan: .... There would be little or no opposition to the Bill if section 9, the cornerstone of the Bill, was removed. We have repeatedly heard that the Bill is about providing clarity for doctors and protecting the lives of pregnant women but section 9 does not serve these worthy objectives. Its purpose is simply to give statutory effect to the X case decision, which we know is a flawed...

Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Report Stage (Resumed) (10 Jul 2013)

Terence Flanagan: ...Minister. What would be the acceptable number of direct abortions under section 9? If one accepts the premise of the X case, on which the Bill is based, that a threat of suicide is no less a real and substantial threat to the mother's life, whether it arises in the first trimester or at eight months, and if the mother says she is suicidal because of the very existence of the baby, rather...

Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Second Stage (Resumed) (1 Jul 2013)

Terence Flanagan: I welcome the opportunity to speak on the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013. I have no doubt that everyone in this House agrees that pregnant women in Ireland should be entitled to the very best medical care available. In so far as the Bill provides clarity in respect of the interventions that are lawful where there is a physical threat to the life of the mother, no one has any...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Implementation of Government Decision Following Expert Group Report into Matters Relating to A, B and C v. Ireland (10 Jan 2013)

Terence Flanagan: In conclusion, my question to all of the groups is whether they would support the choice of a woman who wishes to abort her baby because the baby's gender poses a mental health threat to the mother, and whether they would support the choice of a woman who wishes to abort because the foetus has been diagnosed with a cleft palate, where this poses a mental health threat to the mother?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Implementation of Government Decision Following Expert Group Report into Matters Relating to A, B and C v. Ireland (10 Jan 2013)

Terence Flanagan: I thank the witnesses for appearing before us today. My first question is directed to Bishop Jones and Fr. Bartlett. It was stated that when a seriously ill pregnant woman needs medical treatment, which may indirectly put the life of her baby at risk, such treatments are morally ethical provided every effort is made to save the life of both the mother and her baby. I would welcome comment...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Implementation of Government Decision Following Expert Group Report into Matters Relating to A, B and C v. Ireland (9 Jan 2013)

Terence Flanagan: Yesterday we heard from the masters of the large maternity hospitals that they did not feel restricted in offering all necessary medical assistance to pregnant mothers in a medical emergency. They further stated they were personally unaware of and had not seen examples where current law and practice had restricted the provision of all necessary care for women in these circumstances. If that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Implementation of Government Decision Following Expert Group Report into Matters Relating to A, B and C v. Ireland (8 Jan 2013)

Terence Flanagan: Has any of the Masters present withheld treatment or refused medical intervention to save a mother's life on legal grounds? Is there any evidence of pregnant women in Irish hospitals not receiving appropriate medical care due to the current state of the law? Should everything possible be done to protect pregnant women from the threat of suicide without terminating their pregnancies? My...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Implementation of Government Decision Following Expert Group Report into Matters Relating to A, B and C v. Ireland (8 Jan 2013)

Terence Flanagan: Paragraph 21.1 relates to abortion being illegal in Ireland, with the exception of circumstances "where there is clear and substantial risk to the life of the mother arising from a threat of suicide." Obviously these guidelines are directed towards doctors. It further states: "You should undertake a full assessment of any such risk in light of the clinical research on this issue." What is...
