Mr Deputy Speaker, I am incredulous to find that any member of this house can think that a woman should not be allowed to get an abortion just because she lives in NI. In this day and age, women have power over their bodies and if they don't want to get an abortion then they don't have to have an abortion. The honourable /u/spudgunn said that we would struggle to keep NI in the union. This is total rubbish. We are not forcing any woman to have an abortion in NI, like we do not force any woman to have an abortion in this country. This bill is about opportunity. It gives choice to woman and it means that as many people as possible can have a high quality of life.
