I have a concern with it being left up to a healthcare professional without a direction or an inclusion if we were to end up with a situation such as what happened with Savita Halappanavar, where it is down to the doctors at the time to make decisions because the law is ambiguous. We cannot have any ambiguity. We need a definite position.
