He is doing nothing to support the provision of positive information that could save a life without subtracting from the right to abortion which the legislation rightly or wrongly confers. An ultrasound can only give useful and positive information.

This information might be medically necessary from the woman's point of view and might be a life-saver from the unborn child's point of view. At the very least the Minister should see those things as different but equally valid goods to be achieved.
