This is a very serious issue, and in fairness I think Senator Mullen is correct. If we go ahead and approve this it is going to allow abortion on demand, as far as I am concerned. I think it is totally and utterly wrong. I said it from day one. The child's heart beats after three weeks, and I think it is very important that the people out there realise that if we pass this, it will be abortion on demand.
