A point of order, Mr. Chair. There are not many women at this table, I may be the only one. I'm sorry, but I don't see abortion as a sensationalist topic. We are not trying to be deliberately controversial when we talk about abortion. I feel that it was somewhat inappropriate for my colleague, the member opposite, to talk about abortion as if it were a sensationalist subject. I really don't know what to say. In Canada, abortion is an acquired right. For a woman, abortion means being able to make decisions about her own body, and it is not an issue that can be seen as sensationalistic.
