I hope the Minister will reflect on what he heard and that it might make him re-examine the evil outcome of this Bill. It would be wonderful if he did so and told the Labour Party where to go in regard to the Bill. However, the Minister is not accepting amendment No. 4, which goes to the core of the Bill. It would have a significant effect on the application of section 9, which is totally unnecessary, as we heard during the health committee hearings. The intention was that babies would not be aborted in any shape or form where it is not necessary to save the life of the woman. What I describe is clearly the case.
