It was with dismay I saw that there are 180 Committee Stage amendments to the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018. There is public disgust about these amendments. I am also disgusted about them. Let us take one in particular. It is impossible to carry out a burial of remains before 12 weeks. There are no remains. It is just menstrual blood. Are we going to follow women around? What will happen after 12 weeks? After that amount of time, the overwhelming majority of women really want children and now eight Deputies have put down 180 amendments to delay the Bill.
