Mar dhuine a labhraíonn Gaeilge beagnach chuile uair a sheasaim sa Teach seo, beidh mé ag labhairt cuid mhaith i mBéarla anocht. Tá mé cinnte go maithfear dom é mar is dóigh go bhfuil mé thar a bheith dílis ó thaobh úsáid na Gaeilge sa Teach seo.

I have listened with interest to the debate from the beginning. I always try to respect everybody's view. I try to not to impugn people's motives, but that does not always seem to be reciprocated. The fundamental basis of the differing views on abortion hinges on one question: do you believe an unborn baby is a human or do you not?

Does one believe it is an independent human, even though it is in the mother's womb but independent in its life or does one believe it is the sole property of the mother?
