I appreciate the Minister saying the highest standard of health service is required. However, potentially allowing a future Minister to permit literally anyone in the health service to carry out an abortion is not fair. Women deserve the best medical care and the best people should provide the service. There was a reference made to me not caring for women, but if we were to go ahead with this and allow anyone in the health service to do it, it would be a great mistake.
