Abortion and the Eighth Amendment
Senator Walsh seeks a debate on repealing the Eighth Amendment and argues that abortion raises fundamental human-rights and right-to-life questions, prompting objections from Senator O’Keeffe.
As I did yesterday, I seek a debate on the abortion issue. I agree with Senator Susan O'Keeffe who sought a debate on the repeal of the eight amendment and call on the Leader to arrange same. There is an onus on those who are proposing the repeal of the eighth amendment to talk about the procedures to be used to kill a baby because that is what abortion is about.

It is not just about somebody sanguine.

As usual, the Senator degrades the debate.

It is also a fundamental human rights issue. I refer to the right to life.

The right to life is fundamental, as Senator Susan O'Keeffe knows. I would like her to outline her position on the issue, as well as on the issue of gendercide.
