Other than the last couple of words the Deputy spoke, there is nothing she said with which I disagree. I am quite sure this legislation will be scrutinised and challenged, line by line and word by word. That is why this Committee Stage debate is different from most of those to which we are used. If we get a word wrong, either by putting it in or removing it, we all know that we run the risk of undermining what is proposed. What I do not want to happen is to have somebody successfully challenge the meaning of fatal foetal abnormality in the courts. That is why I am trying to clarify what we mean by fatal foetal abnormality, without doing what the Deputy is concerned it would do.
