It is respectful to the amendment. Senator Ruane went to the trouble of putting down an amendment and I am only giving some feedback on that. Broadening out the word "health" to include well-being would dilute the protections of the unborn child. It is not something that I could subscribe to or support. I agree with the Minister in what he had to say on broadening out the definition. There is much I could say on it but I will confine my remarks to that. Unfortunately, there is no way I could support Senator Ruane's amendment even if she was pressing it-----
