Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2022-10-06
============================================================

Mary Seery Kearney (FG), Nominated by the Taoiseach

On this occasion, the term “the unborn” is so unbelievably loaded that I support the amendment. My one question is whether there a conflict in using the word “her” in the term "her pregnancy". Is there a conflict with other gender recognition legislation?
