As I indicated previously, the previous motion 18 deals with the gestational limit and access up to 12 weeks. I cannot support the suggestion that we would go beyond 12 weeks on socio-economic grounds. I think the motion as it stands, or as it is proposed that it be amended, is seeking to go further. I wanted to put that on the record.
