New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian has urged party unity at the New South Wales Liberal State Council meeting, in the face of dissent over the bill to decriminalise abortion.Premier Gladys Berejiklian has urged her party to"move forward together"Ms Berejiklian went into the meeting after weeks of party-room divisionLiberal backbenchers Tanya Davies and Kevin Connolly have said they will move to the crossbench if amendments are not made to the bill.
Outside the meeting, the pair addressed hundreds of protesters opposing abortion, but that open anger did not extend inside. "During these times we listen to each other, respect each other," the Premier told nearly 1,000 party members.Ms Berejiklian escaped potentially damaging criticism, after a motion to condemn the bill was defeated before it was debated."That was a fairly close result and, given the reality of the division, it would have been healthier to allow people to talk."
The Premier did face questions about the bill, in a closed session, but the ABC understands the reception was not hostile.Amendments to the bill are still being negotiated before they will be debated in the Upper House in a week's time.
The abortion on demand up to 22 weeks gestation has some sickening ramifications. New businesses in the sale of human embryonic and foetal parts and tissue. God help us from these lowlife representatives.
It is preposterous to think that abortion is criminal in any state in the Commonwealth. I’m someone’s son, someone’s husband, someone’s cousin, someone’s father and I think this law is in and of itself, criminal.
