Hon MAGGIE BARRY (National—North Shore): Thank you, Madam Chair. Remind me again why this bill is needed. We were told that this Government bill emerged from a policy decision from the Government, an idea conceived to apparently decriminalise women who had abortions by removing it from the Crimes Act and by making it a health issue. Many of us felt, "Fair enough." But why do we really need to have new legislation to do that?
