Yes, and it is me today. I thank the witnesses for travelling to be with us, making their presentations and taking questions. Professor Gevers might put on his legal hat. As he knows, our law guarantees the equal right to life of the mother and the unborn. What is his legal opinion as to the difficulties that poses or why would he not agree with that equation legally?
