Consistently throughout the debate, one of us has been moving these jointly proposed amendments. They all seek to address our concerns around the criminalisation of those who may be supportive of, or of assistance to, a woman who seeks an abortion. We very much welcome the fact the woman herself is not criminalised and that is clear in section 23 but we do have concerns which we raised on Second Stage. At this point I will withdraw our amendments with a view to raising them again and discussing our concerns.
