I support the amendment. One thing we all try to avoid is pain, as adults or in any walk of life. We are speaking here for someone that cannot speak for itself, the foetus or baby, whatever you like to call it. It is a medically proven fact that from 20 weeks onward, foetuses are affected and can feel pain. The Minister should take this on board. It will not affect the referendum in any way and it will protect against something that should not happen, namely pain, when abortions take place.
