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.
