Minister for Justice Alan Shatter has said he believes if the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill had been in force, Savita Halappanavar may not have lost her life.
He said the case starkly illustrates the need for legislation in this area.
The minister said it is unfortunate that the Government should lose any colleague on this issue.
He said he hopes his colleague Minister of State for European Affairs Lucinda Creighton would support the bill.
"I would hope that Lucinda would support the legislation and support the Government approach to this issue and would respect the views of colleagues across the parliamentary party," he said.
"Everyone in the party might have a different view on different aspects of different legislation but we operate as a party. She is part of the Fine Gael family and I would hope she doesn't step outside that," Mr Shatter added.
He also said it is important that the Government has met its obligations and responsibilities to give legal statutory effect to a constitutional provision to ensure that the medical profession know exactly what procedures apply should there be a real and substantial risk to the life of the mother when she is pregnant and that mothers in the State know what the position is.
