Abortion.

By now the time was 1.50pm and it was abortion. Juanita Doorey jumped up and trotted to the microphone, to tell us why we should support her motion (Moved: Doorey/ Shields. That this Association supports the abortion rally on May 19) only to be forestalled by Leonie Morris who wanted an amendment "That this Association give $100 to CoAction towards covering costs for the campaign at Parliament on May 19" but consented to having it changed into a foreshadowed motion, seconded by Lisa Sacksen.

Back to Juanita Doorey's motion and the discussion started jumping — is it illegal? Yes. Is it opposing the entire report? Yes. Can you clarify the aim? What? — ending in an amendment. (Moved: Carter/Underwood. That this Association supports the abortion rally on May 19) which was promptly lost. Discussion then reverted to the original motion which was put and carried, only to be followed by the loss of the back-up motion (Moved: Doorey/ Shields. That this Association give S50 towards covering the costs for the abortion rally at Parliament on May 19) — a slight contradiction? With one minute to go the foreshadowed motion was rushed through and earned and the meeting closed.
