Termination of Pregnancy Bill 2018 QLD

September 28, 2018

ALHR made a submission to the Health, Communities, Disabilities Services and Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Committee Inquiry into the Termination of Pregnancy Bill 2018 QLD.

It is ALHR’s view that criminal provisions relating to termination of pregnancy should be repealed and that, in order for Australia to comply with its international human rights law obligations,, termination of pregnancy services should be safe, legal and accessible. Accordingly, ALHR strongly supports the recommendations of the Queensland Law Reform Commission as contained in its Review on Pregnancy Termination Laws (2018), and the Bill in its current form.
