[Shakes Head] before the X case, in 1992, it was basically the same here. The child's life was put above the mother's in all cases. Even now, the abortion procedure still can't be carried out in Ireland, but at least they won't physically stop you from leaving the country, like what happened to the poor girl in the X case. If that case hadn't been resolved in the constitiion, pregnant women would still be denied the right to travel outside the republic - crazy, crazy stuff.
