Decriminalising abortion in NSW will be
harder if controversial changes to the Crimes Act, known as Zoe's law, are
passed, critics say.
|
Unlawful foetal loss is already covered
under the definition of “grievous bodily harm,” which attracts a comparable
penalty to the “Zoe's Law version 2” bill. Therefore, the proposed law serves
no significant practical effect other than to advance a pro-life ideology.
(It is also interesting that Ms
Donegan is campaigning for recognition of legal personhood for foetuses beyond
20 weeks gestation yet also identifies as being pro-choice. The potential
discordance here can be rationalised by affirming Judith Jarvish Thomson’s
“violinist” argument.)
