"Madam President, I will take longer than one minute because there are two questions. First of all, Mr Mitchell has misled this House. He says that he has never heard me condemn gendercide. I ask you to go back to the debate in the last committee where it will be minuted that I condemn gendercide. I condemn abortion on the basis of sex selection. No-one should ever terminate a child because of its gender. But those on the other side of the House should not use gendercide as an excuse to deny women the right as to what they should do with their bodies, the right to sex education, the right to contraception and, where necessary, a right to choose an abortion.
Yes, you have beliefs – and I respect your beliefs, religious or otherwise – but you never have the right to impose them on another individual when by imposing them you diminish their human rights and civil liberties by comparison to your own. I need no lectures, and let my record be repeated to you, Mr Mitchell, when you go back to the committee and look at the debate that we had on gendercide. We were unanimous. You have misled this House."@en1
