Fed: AMA calls for uniform national abortion laws
The Australian Medical Association has called for uniform national legislation on abortion.
AMA president Dr MUKESH HAIKERWAL says abortion laws are unclear and complex, and vary
from state to state, which has legal ramifications for doctors and patients.
SUMAN SOOD, a Sydney doctor who allegedly performed a late-term abortion, is currently
facing a committal hearing charged with the manslaughter of a foetus and administering
a drug with intent to procure a miscarriage.
