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.

That cunt is an outright bastard and so is every fucker who voted with him

No one decides late term to just fucking abort. At that point it's overwhelmingly euthanasia. Forcing someone to carry a dead / hellishly suffering child to term is pure fucking evil.

And we need to start saying that very very fucking loudly every time this shit comes up. Because they're framing it as kittens and puppies and save the babbies when it's fucking none of these things
