[2nd Allocated Day]

How many times do I have to say no to my hon. Friend? This is about being accountable for our views, which is what Parliament is all about. I do not see why we should shy away from putting our positions on the record. If Members want to stand in the way of a woman's basic right to independent counselling, then they should vote against this proposal. However, if they want to ensure that a woman can have access to very basic support, they should vote for the amendment. It is up to them—support these reasonable measures to provide all women with independent counselling, or stand in the way of that basic support. This vote is about women. I want every woman in this country to be able to look every MP in the eye and ask, ““How did you vote for me and my daughters? What was the decision that you took?”” Every MP will be accountable for that vote and that decision today.
