AUSTRALIA, May 22, 1998 (LSN) – Previously reported changes to West Australian abortion laws repeal criminal sanctions for women obtaining abortions and require informed consent before abortionists can legally perform an abortion.The “stinker”, according to abortion providers, is that the law still allows for criminal sanctions against abortionists who do not properly follow the informed consent provision which was included by pro-life MPs. Pro-lifers are offering support to women who wish to take legal action for wrongful abortion under the new law.
