The claim
"[The proposed changes to Queensland's abortion laws] would be some of the most radical and extreme legislation of abortions in the world, and it would allow, effectively … unrestricted abortions beyond 22 weeks."
Original review summary
The review says the proposed bill would allow abortion on request up to 22 weeks, but require two doctors to agree to an abortion after that point. They would have to consider the relevant medical circumstances, the woman’s circumstances, and applicable professional standards and guidelines.[S1]
