He has consistently argued against abortion on socio-economic grounds. There is no mention of the collection of data on socio-economic issues in amendments Nos. 43, 43a or 43b even though we know that such issues affect proportionately more women than certain other issues when it comes to making a choice on termination. These amendments are the height of hypocrisy. They are malicious and vindictive and should be withdrawn.
