Queensland parliament passes ‘unprecedented’ gag on abortion debate
Ambush motion, introduced by David Crisafulli, aimed at preventing potential public disunity in LNP ranks by ensuring MPs won’t be forced into a conscience vote
Gag on abortion? Not if you slow down and properly masticate, mate
Muzzling debate on the state sanctioned murder of babies will definitely help unity!
The issue here is that certain elements of the LNP really do believe women's healthcare amounts to murder. Quite possibly a majority, because the LNP is quite a far right party at its heart. But the last time they were in power in Queensland they went too hard and too fast with enacting their far right policies, and they got turfed out in just one election despite having 78 out of 89 seats, and Labor having a measly 7. So their leader this time wants to present a unified more moderate front, so they can drip feed their destructive policies in the areas that actually matter to them.
You are literally ending a life.
This is not something you can debate your way out of.
You will never convince many people that ending a life is acceptable in some cases by pretending the life you are ending isn't a person.
Wielding the powers of government to shut up people who refuse to agree that you aren't ending a life will not win you their support.
Get used to it.
I hope you get unwanted pregnant.
