I have indicated a request to speak on these issues generally. I have no issue with the law of the land on the use of non-abortifacient contraception. However, I see this as part of a total abortion package. In the light of the paucity of evidence heard by the committee and the lack of respect for life shown by the committee in advocating abortion, it seems that tacking on these public welfare dimensions of the issue is really an effort by the committee to cloak itself in respectability.
