It's genuinely jarring to hear American "culture war" talking points being used by politicians here, why would we WANT to be like America? It's a $hitshow
I remember the dark days of illegal abortions. I went to school with young girls too scared to tell their parents about their situation. How many young women were impregnated and abandoned by the “boyfriend” or victims of a r@p!st or even worse “pack r@pe”? How many married because it was expected and a child grew up in an unhappy marriage or worse was labelled a “b@st@rd”? I do not want my grandchildren to go back to the days when there was no choice … and let’s be real, everyone in those days knew that the rich and connected always knew that money could solve their problems.
I am a grandmother, I want my daughters and grand daughter to have the same reproductive rights as I have. I am sick of men telling us what to do with our bodies.
Yeah now ask the Filo father if he follows his Catholic beliefs to a tee. Classic falling back on religion as an excuse to not exercise an iota of rational thought.
It has nothing to do with religion the Bible doesn’t talk about abortion. It only says murder is wrong. Science proves it’s not your body. If that was the case When someone gets pregnant they would just be fat. A Baby inside you is different genetic make up compared to anyone that is alive or lived unless you are a twin. Any line that you draw to choose when personhood starts always excludes someone living.
Stuff the nay sayers! Abortion SHOULD be made available as it’s the female’s right to choose! My missus had an abortion 28 years ago now as she never wanted kids so the decision was easy for her. No regrets
So pleased to hear Australian speak on this. Only two people, and both are men, want to restrict or remove women’s health care choice. One is based on religious beliefs, (no one is aborting babies during the birth, he is watching too much American fox), and Robbie Katter, for political point scoring. Robbie Katter is so irrelevant to the people of Australia he needs to garner attention while riding his father’s coat tails in his rural Qld electorate. I would not be surprised if Crisafulli suddenly sees reason to give credence to the bill if Katter is stupid enough to put it up.
I'm a brother with four sisters, and like every woman on this earth, I'm pro choice and we as MEN have no right whatsover to tell women what to do with their bodies....Period....
How about saying, it is none of my business we don’t know the circumstances, funny how men are all against it, if you see women trying to raise kids by themselves living in a car, WHERE ARE THE BLOODY MEN helping with the kids
Agreed. Just take heart of the fact that most of us men are in total support of women's right to choose. Frankly, the media giving this topic as much airtime as they are does not help at all.
I think politicians should stay in their lane and not be allowed to make medical decisions about the medical procedures of other people. I'm pretty sure Katter wouldn't be too pleased if other politicians tried to pass legislation to ban men from having vasectomies.
Abortion should not be argued on my body my rights because you are carrying a new life new body. The baby has a right to live. Baby says “ my body my choice I choose life “
So you want a situation where women are dying like in the USA because doctors have to be sure that a woman is sick enough to do one? Maternal mortality has increased phenomenally in Texas, including amongst women who want their pregnancies but gave miscarried- look it up. Most women do not want an abortion but make a decision about the impact on their bodies and lives. You will NEVER have that dilemma.
I agree with abortion, but no later than 12 weeks after conception. Not late in the pregnancy, when you are taking the life of a fully developed foetus. In my opinion.
The majority of abortions is not due to rap* it’s due to carelessness it’s irresponsible people engaging in fornication and adultery . Wow , WHAT ABOUT THE BABY’S BODY AH 😣 IT’S NOT JUST YOUR BODY ANYMORE YOU ARE CARRYING A LIFE . All those who commit murder will stand before God to account for this abominable SIN.
If your religion tells you not to have an abortion, don't, but don't tell other people what to do with their lives. Stop persecuting and shaming others, it's not your job to judge.
Where were the Australians? Every little baby has a right to live and the father has rights as well. The father should be able to have his say. There are many couples who want a baby and can't have a baby. Some people should be grateful that their mothers didn't have a abortion.

I’m 68 years old female, I marched in the 70s for legal abortion and if I have to get out there again on my rickety knees I will !!
Interesting how the men are making the decision on abortion - why?
The only person who tells me what to do with my lady bits, is ME.

Except that there’s another body involved and they have a right to live.
But yet women want the child support right away🤔, fathers should have a choice exception
Don’t have sex then
Yeah now ask the Filo father if he follows his Catholic beliefs to a tee. Classic falling back on religion as an excuse to not exercise an iota of rational thought.
No leave it alone people should be able to decide them selves not governments
The guy that said it needs to be more science based than religion nailed it. My body, my choice.
How about, don’t have sex unless you are able to deal with the consequences?
A fetus isn’t a body part
It has nothing to do with religion the Bible doesn’t talk about abortion. It only says murder is wrong. Science proves it’s not your body. If that was the case When someone gets pregnant they would just be fat. A Baby inside you is different genetic make up compared to anyone that is alive or lived unless you are a twin.

Stuff the nay sayers!

No regrets
As a man I think Men shouldn't even be allowed an opinion on abortion ever. If its Pro-vasectomoy/sterilisation then we get a seat at the table.

Women scared them off with threats of goal!
Abortion should remain the choice of the woman considering it.. its no one elses business.
What a balanced survey. Not.
No male should ever have a say about abortion ever.
It doesn’t matter what people think of abortion. It’s none of their business.
Does the father of the pregnancy have a say or is it the sole choice for the mother of this pregnancy?
Absolute insanity to even entertain this.
That last comment says it all.....
... provided "nobody telling a woman what to do" includes nobody telling a woman she should get one
Male and catholic. What a surprise!
I think politicians should stay in their lane and not be allowed to make medical decisions about the medical procedures of other people. I'm pretty sure Katter wouldn't be too pleased if other politicians tried to pass legislation to ban men from having vasectomies.
Abortion is the woman's choice. The pro life movement is religious in nature, you have to follow your religion not everyone else.
Why are we revisiting this, it's been done and dusted, these idiots are trying to import American divisiveness into Australian politics.
A personal discussion nobody's business but the person involved get out of our personal space.
Aborion isn’t a criminal activity leave it alone!
Regardless use a condom, let’s not raw dog. It’s very easy to not accidentally get preggo.
Look up failure rates of condoms and birth control 🤦♀️
“Balanced” 🙄
Maybe we should go back and read Genesis 1-3.
Some of these comments are terrifying! My body, my choice! Rape and incest are not ok!
Abortion should not be argued on my body my rights because you are carrying a new life new body. The baby has a right to live. Baby says “ my body my choice I choose life “
I will never support abortion because I care about the human race!
Unless you are a woman who is in the situation/circumstances and your treating ob/gyn discuss what may be necessary.
Ask someone when you see a little child in the eyes,do we have the right to say no to there opportunity to live,I’m sick of this woke generation
There's a difference between a child and a fetus.
So you want a situation where women are dying like in the USA because doctors have to be sure that a woman is sick enough to do one? Maternal mortality has increased phenomenally in Texas, including amongst women who want their pregnancies but gave miscarried- look it up. Most women do not want an abortion but make a decision about the impact on their bodies and lives. You will NEVER have that dilemma.

Abortion should be accessible to all woman, however on a doctor or psychologist assessment. Medical guidance should be required
That's already how they do it.
Not 1 Australian interviewed
😂 really? What does a real Australian look and sound like ?
It's MURDER , BLOODY MURDER
😂
If the mothers life is in danger sure, otherwise the life of the baby is the most important.
Absolutely
What if it's a child?
Move away from religion? Science says a fetus is a human life too?….
Queensland should become an American state
The majority of abortions is not due to rap* it’s due to carelessness it’s irresponsible people engaging in fornication and adultery .
Wow , WHAT ABOUT THE BABY’S BODY AH 😣 IT’S NOT JUST YOUR BODY ANYMORE YOU ARE CARRYING A LIFE . All those who commit murder will stand before God to account for this abominable SIN.
If your religion tells you not to have an abortion, don't, but don't tell other people what to do with their lives. Stop persecuting and shaming others, it's not your job to judge.
So just because majority is not due to rape . It should be illegal for everyone?
Where were the Australians?
Every little baby has a right to live and the father has rights as well. The father should be able to have his say. There are many couples who want a baby and can't have a baby.
Some people should be grateful that their mothers didn't have a abortion.
do u want her to interview a kangaroo? what r u waffling about
Control abortion, not a contraceptive but not l;ike America where women are dying because the Doctors will not abort to save a life.
A personal discussion nobody's business but the person involved get out of our personal space.
