Why would an MP need to be in the chamber(which is what we're dealing with), to address the situation of an individual constituent?
It's still a constantly noisy atmosphere, and that is before you consider the potential noise from the baby.
Plenty of examples of where the "mother's decision" results in harm to a child and/or being taken into care. They can be selfish and/or deluded.
