?Babies Who Survive an Abortion Will be Left to Die, if New Laws Pass NSW Parliament
If a baby survives a late-term abortion, it will be legal in NSW to let it die - if the State Government’s abortion bill makes it through the Upper House.
August 2019
That’s one of the more sobering details of the Reproductive Health Care Reform Bill that looks to decriminalise abortion in NSW, and was passed by a majority of 59 to 31 in the NSW Parliament’s Lower House late last night.

During three days of intense debate, the NSW Minister for Women Tanya Davies introduced one of several proposed amendments, calling for babies’ lives to be protected if a pregnancy is terminated at 20 weeks or later.

Ms Davies wanted to see “every effort [to be] made to deliver the foetus alive”, and “if a live child is born, the child must be given the same neonatal care as would be given to any other child born at the same stage of pregnancy and in the same medical condition.”

The amendment was knocked back by a majority, though. This means that a baby inadvertently delivered alive could be left to die in one hospital ward—while doctors fight to save a premature baby of the same age, in the next. In this hypothetical scenario, the only difference between the two babies may be their parents’ willingness to raise a child.
