I wish to raise the horrifying case reported over the weekend concerning the young teenage girl who was sectioned and detained in a psychiatric unit under the Mental Health Act for requesting an abortion last year. The girl and her mother thought they were going to Dublin for an abortion and she was sectioned instead. This is nothing short of institutional coercion of a vulnerable young woman.
