From Australia-A split has emerged within the churches over a bill to decriminalise abortion in NSW, with the Uniting Church the first mainstream denomination to support the proposed new laws.
Independent MP Alex Greenwich introduced the Reproductive Health Care Bill 2019 on Thursday to remove abortion from NSW's 119-year-old criminal code and create a standalone healthcare act.
In
a move that will set it apart from the other churches, the Uniting
Church has written to state MPs telling them abortion is a "health and
social issue and should not be a criminal issue".
