Dispute over abortion remarks
Senator Norris asks colleagues to reread his previous contribution on abortion, rejecting a claim that he misrepresented the issue in an extreme manner.
Yesterday, I made a contribution in respect of the position regarding abortion. After having listed everything I said - although he did not name me - my colleague and friend, Senator Ó Murchú, stated: "I would not like to think that any of us who wish in the future to make a contribution in this House might decline to do so because we fear being misrepresented in an extreme way." I take this opportunity to ask colleagues to read what I said. I am of the view that they will come to the conclusion that I did not misrepresent anything in an extreme way.
