The Deputy says there is no specific provision. The point is there is no right to do so. In other words, there is no positive right to do with what the Deputy is worried about. There is no right to end the life of the foetus. There is a right to a termination of pregnancy, but there is no right to destroy a foetus. It does not appear anywhere in the Bill. What the Deputy seems to be suggesting is that it should be stated that it does not exist. There is no requirement to say that something is not so. The right does not appear anywhere in the Bill.
