| Message | This policy respects the choice of the mother. If we don't like abortions, I don't believe we should be banning it. We should be preventing unwanted pregnancies. Our current policy on the supply of contraceptive devices is one way in which we are trying to do this. I see that you are also trying to abolish that policy. Think about it - if you are stopping the free supply of contaceptives as well as banning abortion in the second trimester, what are you really doing? |
