That is disgraceful.

Withdraw that remark.

Let me draw the attention of the House to the comments of the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Deputy Frances Fitzgerald and the UN rapporteur. How dare he call Ireland's maternal care into question and draw comparisons between it and the care in India? India is sadly a death trap for women in terms of maternal care.

How could Senator Mullen link the death of children in Connecticut with this debate?

This is a serious mistake on the part of Senator Mullen.

I think it is very important to find a way to challenge robustly any attitude or culture of neglect or disrespect for the unborn without attacking people. We can criticise what people say. In conclusion, Senator Fitzgerald suggested that people would be making false clams about women feigning suicide. However, the Minister of State at the Department of Health, Deputy Kathleen Lynch talked about women feigning insanity to do what they believed was the right thing to do in the circumstances.

I am very worried about the Government's attitude. I want to promote a culture of best care for women and their unborn children to patients. I am worried about the attitude to that at the highest level of Government.
