That type of behaviour should stop. One of the reasons I oppose abortion is because of its effect on minorities. Someone from a low-income family who is female and has a disability is far more likely to be aborted. Abortion is an inequality. People who do not believe that information should look at the Guttmacher Institute's website, which is a pro-choice site. It shows that minorities suffer most from abortion. I think it was Deputy Lisa Chambers who stated last night that gender selection abortion does not happen in this country or at all, which is patently untrue. Deputy Donnelly stated that he is against abortion in the case of disability and that the Bill does not allow for this. The Minister also stated that a few times. A ten year old child studying a Venn diagram in school will know that if abortion is made available for every reason, it will be available for cases involving disability. I cannot understand why the Minister and the people speaking on his side of the debate cannot understand the simple premise that if abortion is available without indication and on request and if it cannot be refused up to 12 weeks, then, by definition, it is available in respect of cases of disability. It is that simple.
