NSW Greens politician and abortionist, Amanda Cohn has tabled a bill that could effectively force the closure of Catholic hospitals, turn midwives and nurses into abortionists and further erode protections for individual health workers not to participate in abortion.
Cohn’s bill sets an extremely dangerous precedent for religious freedom in Australia.
- It widens ministerial control by allowing the Health Minister to make directions
to hospitals on abortion provision and the hospital “must comply”. - It opens the door for nurses and midwives to perform dangerous chemical
abortions through distributing RU486 across the state. - It requires doctors and other health workers who do not want to participate in
abortion to actively refer women who want an abortion to someone whose
conscience is not troubled by killing a baby in-utero. - It removes mandatory data reporting requirements on abortion.
