Dr. John Monaghan, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist ,  has written the following.  ” In my 40 years of practice during which I have delivered over 5000 babies I have seen many difficult cases, but I have never felt the 8th Amendment had a negative impact on the safe practice of medicine. The amendment does not restrict doctors from acting to save a woman’s life when serious complications arise in pregnancy. It has never prevented me from protecting a woman’s life or health. Abortion ends lives. It is not healthcare.”
