Proceeding contribution from Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 September 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care (Re-committed) Bill.


[2nd Allocated Day]

I thank the hon. Lady for giving way, and I commend her courage and perseverance. Does she share the concern of many in this House and outside about the businesslike and commercial decisions that are taken in relation to abortion and feel that, because one hour of counselling a week for everyone is not enough, it is wrong that a commercial industry has been made out of abortion? Does she agree that when abortion becomes a business, the feelings of people have been lost?
