Here's A Fact Check On The Anti-Abortion Flyers Being Handed Out In Queensland
Deputy opposition leader Tanya Plibersek has slammed graphic flyers distributed to Brisbane voters that warn women will be"harmed" and"babies will die" if Bill Shorten becomes prime minister.The flyers, created by anti-abortion lobby group Cherish Life and put in letterboxes around Brisbane's north, claim if Labor wins at next month's federal election, abortion will be"legal until birth for any reason right around Australia".
The flyers claim if Labor wins it will be a"public health disaster" but Plibersek said reproductive choice and access to"basic health care" are fundamental rights. Dr Catriona Melville is the deputy medical director of Marie Stopes Australia, a national abortion provider, and says the idea that abortion occurs at 37 weeks is"completely untrue and unfounded".
