Australia

…legislation that would force women seeking an abortion after 27 weeks and six days – an extremely rare occurrence – to be induced, to deliver the child alive.

Emphasis mine.

That’s 10 weeks early. I’m far from an expert but that’s extremely premature, right? Like, that baby is going to be in a very precarious place for a significant amount of time, yeah?

Again, I’m far from an expert but that seems horrible for literally everyone involved, especially the child! Possibly leading to lifelong health and developmental issues.

[Ben Hood] has previously said that, once born, if the baby “isn’t compatible with life”, it would then be given palliative care.

Takes “born to die” to the extreme.

Worse still that an MP came in form sick leave to vote against.

From what I read somone would abstain and shed be on leave, making the votes even out. Then they pulled out and said they'd vote so she came in to have her vote count!

It's one of the worst feelings when you realise that social progress isn't guaranteed, and regressions happen frequently throughout history.

Fucking hell SA

The one thing I hate about it country is its desire to copy America with everything. Even though we see how poorly it goes for them first.

I didn't think Australia would still be religious enough to have considered this. They're generally more liberal than the US.

The Liberal frontbencher Ben Hood, who introduced the bill, says the woman’s right to end a pregnancy is kept because the pregnancy ends when the baby is born. “The innovation of this bill is that it allows a mother to end her pregnancy throughout all nine months and indeed, right up to birth,” he says.

That's some mental gymnastics to come up with that logic. And unsurprisingly, from the supposed "moderate" branch of the Coalition.

We need to start sending these cunts back to the Stone Age. Queensland could be first but they seem to be blinded by the fight against a racist bogey man that doesn’t exist “youth crime”

Here we fucking go :(
