Two heavily pregnant refugees who had refused to leave a bus for more than three days were intentionally left in the Northern Territory sun without air-conditioning and not brought food and water, advocates say.
After attempts to break the standoff failed, the women, both eight months pregnant, were removed with force and taken into detention, the Refugee Action Coalition says.

It's about time Australia started looking after refugees properly. Let's allow these women into the community to have their babies safely and humanely. Then let's find them a home and a life her in a country where they can be safe.
Are they getting pregnant in an attempt to gain entry to Aust? Just wondering as the article says they have been in detention for 15 months. Surely you would try not to get pregnant under those conditions and knowing the uncertainly of the situation that you were bringing a child into?
Sam, pregnancy happens during war,famine and any other shit situation that people find themselves in. Sometimes it's due to contraception failure and sometimes contraception is not being used and although you take a risk by having sex and risking pregnant that intimate physical contact might be the only good thing in their lives. Would you abstain?
