If, for example, all the practitioners within the hospital were unwilling to carry out the procedure, the only rational alternative would be to bring practitioners into the hospital who would be willing to do it or to transfer the mother and unborn child to another hospital. Therefore, there are time delays involved. That is an issue. I do not see it addressed anywhere in the Bill.

For me this is very simple. People talk about being pro-choice and all of that but for me one is either pro-abortion or pro-life. There is no in-between.
