I will be supporting amendment No. 146. Information and informed consent require fair and factual information to be given to a woman before termination. That is all I want to say about No. 146.

The Minister has his mind made up already and I do not think he will move on any of these amendments at all. When the Minister was speaking on amendment No. 146, he referenced a few examples in the UK. Yesterday, when I gave a few examples from the UK, the Minister told me we are not the UK. He cut me off yesterday when I mentioned statistics from the UK and, all of a sudden, it is okay for the Minister. I mentioned the UK yesterday and the Minister cut me straight back.
