We have had this debate. We want the legislation to be passed and no efforts to twist what has happened in reality are going to be effective. This is about trusting women and their doctors to make decisions that suit them. At the end of the day, most pregnancies are very much wanted in this country, like in every other country in the world. To be honest, it is very hard to sit in this Chamber and listen to this prevailing distrust of women, minute after minute and hour after hour.
