Criminal Code Amendment Bill 1998
Bill No.
126
Synopsis
The purpose of this Bill is to provide an avenue for the House to discuss and decide upon the issue of abortion and provide a method, working within the Standing Orders, that allows the various concepts as to an appropriate law relating to abortion to be discussed and voted upon without the necessity for amendments that require striking out and substituting alternative views. Whilst such amendments can be made, it is hoped that the principal alternatives are set out and that, acknowledging that a
Criminal Code
is not an appropriate place for regulation and prescription of detail, the main thrust and prohibition of the law is set out. The Bill seeks to include a new Section 201A (entitled "No Offence if Procuring Abortion Justified") in the
Criminal Code
.
