Ms Heidi Good:

A member asked us where the compassion is. Perhaps in my presentation seeking the rights of the mother, I gave an impression of a lack of compassion in the Methodist Church for the unborn. I ask the committee to forgive me for that because in my own heart personally and having spoken to many Methodists across the land, no one is fully happy with the position we take because we have compassion for the unborn, I assure the committee of that. We support all possible life saving measures. It is a desperate situation and I would not want to be in the medical profession and have to make these choices. This is a difficult issue and we have compassion for everyone involved.
