“The blackest day for mothers and their unborn babies,” said Margaret Tighe, President of the Right to Life Australia, referring to the passage of the Tasmanian 'Reproductive Health (Access to Terminations) Bill 2013.'
Report into Tasmanian abortion bill released
The Report on the Reproductive Health (Access to Terminations) Bill 2013 was tabled today and is very bad news for the unborn babies of Tasmania – it affirms all the worst aspects of the Bill.
The only restriction on terminations is that after 16 weeks a second medical practitioner has to be consulted. 16 weeks was chosen as the cut off time because that was “a bit of a middle-ground approach”. If it were 24 weeks it was thought that would “not get through,” so 16 weeks would “lower the resistance to the bill.”
Law reform must not trample on rights of conscience
The President of Right to Life Australia Mrs Margaret Tighe supports Geoff Shaw MP's news of a likely move on Victoria’s appalling Abortion Law Reform Act 2008 in relation to the actions of doctors who refuse to participate in abortions or referrals for abortion.
