I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes that a number of senators support a minority view in the community that gender is merely a social construct, and that gender is not determined by chromosomes or biology;

(b) questions how someone can logically, or in good conscience, also support Medicare funding of termination of pregnancy on gender grounds if that is their view;

(c) finds termination of pregnancy on gender grounds reprehensible, particularly for the value of girls and boys; and

(d) opposes Medicare funding for termination of pregnancy, where it occurs on gender grounds.

The question is that notice of motion No. 581, standing in the name of Senator Bernardi, be agreed to.
