The Senator referred to an opinion formed on reasonable grounds and in good faith, which has regard to the right to life of the unborn. I would respectfully say, however, that he is probably wrong in thinking that is stronger than a provision that requires the doctor to have regard to the need to preserve unborn life as far as practicable. I actually think that is stronger than the Senator's formulation in this instance.
