I was not going to come back in but I want to take issue with something Senator Mullen said; that other Members do not care about this issue as much he and Senator Keogan do. We are not going away when it comes to this. We will continue to fight for free, legal, safe and local abortion. The Senator might think he can run down the clock and put a chilling effect on Members in this Chamber, activists outside or healthcare providers but he cannot do so. We are passionate about allowing women access to basic healthcare because abortion is healthcare. The Senator will not intimidate us out of doing that.
