That was the issue. It was not a case about treatment or about mental illness. It was a case about a young girl who was suicidal as a result of a crisis pregnancy and for whom abortion was a necessary option in order to avert the real and substantial risk that she would end her life.
I wish, like Senator Crown, that we could legislate for cases of rape and fatal foetal abnormality-----
