Hon DAMIEN O'CONNOR (Minister of Agriculture): Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I rise in support of my cousin's Supplementary Order Paper—not because of my second name at all. I have been in this House for some time, and this is the first time I have spoken on abortion legislation. Before, everyone had considered me somewhat of a conservative. This time, and when this bill was introduced, I voted for it to go to the select committee and be considered. I have to say that, in the many years I've been in here, the one thing that has pleased me is to see abortion numbers go down from 18,000, which was the case last time we debated this legislation, now to 13,000. So by, I guess, a reasonable measure, you would say that the legislation is good. My heart goes out to any woman who faces that terrible dilemma of considering abortion. I would never, in this House, on this legislation, point a finger in any direction. We are all entitled to our views. We all are brought up in different ways and have different values, and every time you point a finger, there are three pointing back at oneself.
