It is a very important point. There has been a great deal of scaremongering in the House about this section. There has been a great deal of faux philosophising also. The suggestion that we are liberalising the regime must be put to bed. Outlining the scenario as it is and as it will be is very important.

There is also the suggestion that was made earlier today that abortion tourism will become the norm on foot of this legislation. That is ludicrous.
