7NEWS: Bill to allow WA teens under 16 to access abortions without having to tell their parents
However, it also maps out provisions for health care professionals if there is doubt about a child’s intelligence, understanding, and decision-making competence in regard to abortion.
The bill will also remove mandatory counselling, which Sanderson called a barrier to women accessing safe and legal abortions, as well as the requirement for women seeking later-term abortions to have their cases reviewed by members of an ethics panel. Sanderson “respectfully” slammed abortion claims made in a petition facilitated by fellow Labour MP Kate Doust, and led by the Australian Christians, as a “misinformation campaign from the pro-life Christian lobby”.
The bill aims to bring the state’s regulations in line with the rest of the country, which Western Australia has failed to keep pace with.
