Media release: Pro-Choice group condemns domestic violence, condemns use of abortion laws

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Wed, 28/09/2011 - 10:01am

Pro-Choice Action Collective (PCAC), a local group that is advocating for the repeal of Queensland's anti-abortion laws, condemn the use of these laws in a domestic violence case in Brisbane.

"These charges aren't about domestic violence, these charges are about finding a way to make the abortion laws relevant again," said campaigner Emma Tovell.

"Typically in cases of assault leading to miscarriage a charge of grievous bodily harm is used. We see a direct connection between this case and the abortion charges that were laid on the couple in Cairns in 2009."
