I tend to agree with the Minister's response. Obviously, we want to protect women against coercion. There are no obvious answers to all of these issues. We have to come down somewhere to protect women from coercion. I am still not entirely convinced, though. Two births, if I was to look at it, probably would be my preference, but obviously we have to start somewhere. As the Minister said, a review is built into this that we will conduct in a number of years. We may have to play this out and see what issues come up and whether or not this becomes an issue in some circumstances. I imagine it would be quite rare anyway. If we are being honest, I would say situations like this would be extremely rare in the first instance. On that basis, I am reasonably satisfied with the response from the Minister. I had not thought through the coercion part of it but that makes sense to me now. I thank him for the response.
