Barnaby Joyce does not know what an abortion is and God have mercy on the person who has to correct him.
Look.
It’s like when your friend keeps pronouncing a word incorrectly and every time you wonder, “Should I?” and then you pause before deciding, “Nah”.
No one wants to be that person.
And now Barnaby has jumped on Twitter in his obnoxious hat and written something silly about a law he doesn’t even marginally understand.
I have a real problem with a law that allows a perfectly healthy full-term baby to be aborted because two doctors say it’s ok, yet NSW’s legislation allows exactly this. Sign the petition at https://t.co/tx5oqQiG8D to demand a proper inquiry.

I’d feel sorry for him except for the fact he keeps trying to crawl into my uterus without even asking permission first.
“I have a real problem with a law that allows a perfectly healthy full-term baby to be aborted because two doctors say it’s ok, yet NSW’s legislation allows exactly this,” Barnaby tweeted, before sharing a petition people ought to sign for a “proper inquiry”.
Sir. No.
Who…? What?
A perfectly healthy full-term baby is just a… baby… and if you were to end its life that would be murder. Which is most definitely still a crime.
Do we all agree killing a newborn is a crime and also morally reprehensible? Cool cool.
No pregnancy, to anyone’s knowledge, has ever been terminated at full term.

I wish it were true. Statistics in the US where late term abortions are allowed in many states show the majority of abortions after 22 weeks are for the same reasons people get abortions in the first trimester, namely social, economic or emotional reasons. ‘Medical necessity’ is open to a drs discretion and therefore a dr could sign off on an abortion of a perfectly healthy fetid after 22 weeks to a perfectly healthy mother if she says having the baby will cause her mental anguish. This is so do wrong!!!! We should value life more than this. Please do not be naive. It doesn’t take much of a search to find many cases of perfectly healthy fetuses being terminated into the 30 weeks. For this reason this law cannot go through until this clause has been tightened up and medical necessity becomes truly that.
We are not in the US. What are the statitiscs for Australia?
This is not the case for Australia, where doctors themselves do not want to perform late term abortions except in dire circumstances, of either foetal problems, or severe ill health of the mother. Why should these women be forced to carry a child?
He’s got his terms confused. He meant ‘late’ term not ‘full’ term. Full term is approx. 40 weeks of gestation. That is a baby that is about to be born.
