I welcome our guests. If I understand correctly, fatal foetal abnormality is not covered by the legislation. Is there any way this Bill could be amended to include the possibility of a termination in the case of a woman who has the misfortune of having a pregnancy where there is no chance of life for the foetus outside the womb? If not, is that because of the 1983 constitutional amendment?
