Discurso sobre el Informe del Comité de la Octava Enmienda
Original: «But because of the Eighth Amendment, we could not legislate to allow abortion in cases of rape, nor where a pregnancy poses a serious risk to a woman’s health; nor even in cases where a baby is incapable of being born alive. Yet these are all real life scenarios where increasingly people in Ireland wish to see abortion access for women.»
