Abortion Law (Northern Ireland)

No; I am finishing my remarks, Lady Winterton, as you asked. It is interesting to note that, when someone is planning to terminate the life of an unborn child and destroy the miracle of God's creation, they refer to the unborn as a foetus or the embryo. By contrast, when they plan to keep the child and cherish it, it is always known as "my baby" or "my child". We never hear anyone saying, "I'm going to have a little foetus." We never hear an abortionist saying, "We're going to kill the little baby." Our respect for the unborn seems to be strangely affected by the circumstances, and I was not elected to the House to support that position.
