One Nation Senator Pushes Abortion Ban

from Melbourne News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

One Nation’s Malcolm Roberts is escalating his push to ban abortion outright, declaring it his personal goal and vowing to bring it to his party — a stance that diverges from leader Pauline Hanson’s more moderate 20-week cutoff. As the U.S. overturned Roe v Wade, Australia’s anti-abortion movement is gaining steam, with bills targeting specific abortion scenarios. Medical bodies warn such laws endanger women’s health and autonomy, while activists rally behind restrictive legislation. Even within One Nation, divisions emerged when a South Australia bill limiting abortions to 25 weeks failed — underscoring the deepening national debate over reproductive rights and the growing threat to bodily autonomy.
