I note that abortion already happens under the 2013 Act. How do the witnesses feel about the evidence given to the committee yesterday? Dr. Thompson from the UK talked about how one would have to give two injections to a baby in the womb to end his or her life and as late as eight months' gestation. Do the witnesses think this is something we should train our doctors to do? I always talk about the unborn child. One talks about the heartbeat, the movement, the stretching, the yawning and everything else. When a baby in the womb is administered an injection, he or she moves. Should doctors be trained to do this?
