I reiterate what I have said. The Bill is very clear. It is unlawful to intentionally destroy unborn human life, but it is not unlawful to terminate a pregnancy where this is the only course of action open to the clinicians to avert the real and substantial risk to the life, as opposed to the health, of the woman. That is what the Supreme Court judgment states and I have made it quite clear that is included in the Bill. To do otherwise would mean that a medical practitioner would be in breach of the proposed legislation and subject to its penalties.
