In a heated debate, Liberal women express their dismay over abortion comments made by Coalition colleagues, sparking a national conversation on women's rights and reproductive health. The controversy centers around the potential unintended consequences of 'Priya's Law', an amendment to the Fair Work Act that provides paid parental leave for stillborn or deceased children. While the bill has passed with bipartisan support, some Coalition MPs, including Andrew Hastie and Barnaby Joyce, have raised concerns about its potential impact on late-term abortions. These comments have been met with strong reactions from women in the Liberal Party, who argue that the legislation should not be politicized and that women's rights to choose should be respected. Medical experts emphasize that the majority of late-term terminations are due to health issues, and the bill's passage is seen as a step towards supporting families through difficult times. The debate continues, with some questioning the motives of those opposing the bill and inviting discussion on the complex issues surrounding reproductive health and women's rights.
