Assisted Reproductive Treatment (Equality Of Access) Amendment Bill

02 May 2012 archivespeech

Support for the Assisted Reproductive Treatment (Equality Of Access) Amendment Bill.

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (20:02): As is often my experience when I follow the Hon. Stephen Wade in these matters of conscience, I wish I could say, 'Me, too, and all of the above.' For very pragmatic reasons—and I supported this amendment when it came before the house the last time—I believe it is in the best interests of the child, who does not have a choice in the way they are conceived, to have the full protections of our health system. I will be supporting the bill.
