FEDERAL MP George Christensen is seeking to introduce a bill into Parliament which would require medical practitioners to provide a child born alive during a late term abortion with the medical care they need to survive.
“FamilyVoice totally supports MP George Christensen’s bill aimed at ensuring babies which survive abortion are not heartlessly left to die,” said Greg Bondar spokesman for FamilyVoice Australia.
Mr Christensen has had a bill prepared pointing out that Australia is in breach of two international agreements to which it is a signatory: The Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
FamilyVoice is encouraging the Prime Minister and other key ministers to support the adoption of this bill and for a conscience vote.
The bill makes it an offence not to provide life-saving treatment punishable with penalties of higher than $400,000 for health practitioners and higher for corporations and possibly see health practitioners who breach the law deregistered in Australia.
“We are encouraging all our supporters nationally to lend their support for this life-saving legislation,” said Greg Bondar.
“We are also delighted to announce that MP George Christensen will be our webinar guest speaker on Monday, 8 March.”
