This Bill is about conscience and the judgment we will make having listened to the evidence over the course of the committee's hearings. The witnesses are all experts in medical law. I ask them to answer with a "Yes" or "No" to be helpful to me and others outside the proceedings. Will the passing of the Bill result in widespread termination of pregnancies? Will the Bill legalise the killing of babies?
