Clearly the medical procedures defined in section 2 have caused tremendous angst and post-abortion trauma for many women. I am also conscious of those who attended the presentations made by Women Hurt when they came to the Houses on two occasions. They came to one of our parliamentary party meetings and came to the House again at the invitation of Deputy Billy Timmins. I was one of 11 members of the parliamentary party who attended and heard those women. I know and they know who was there. I also attended a meeting with the group One Day More and the women brought in by the National Women's Council to promote and support this Bill.
