I welcome our guests and thank them for attending. I wish to pose three questions. Will doctors and nurses who, under head 4 of the Bill, wish to have no part in abortions - either directly or indirectly - be significantly protected in the context of their professions and livelihoods? Will doctors and nurses who, under head 4, wish to have no part in abortions - either directly or indirectly - be likely to be subjected to discrimination in their careers? In the interests of equality, should the proposed legislation make provision for consultations with the fathers of unborn children?
