The way people have been talking here today, you would think that this was a green light to incentivise widespread abortions up to birth, as the lurid headlines would have it—as though women have just been waiting for Clause 191 so that that they can stay pregnant longer and then rush off to terminate later and get away with it. That is the way it is being discussed: as if all these women are going to say, “Great, I don’t have to go at 12 weeks—I’m going to last out for 25 or 26, and then rush down the road”. I do not think that is what is happening.
