greyoceans: This is really happening. Every word is true. (#Update: The Federal Court just ruled yesterday (case is S99) that Peter #Dutton couldn’t force woman to have an illegal abortion in PNG but he won’t bring her here to Australia for a safe lawful abortion).Source: Here’s the ABC story on it -http://tinyurl.com/jj8yzsw Photo description: Content Warning for sexual violence and systemic abuse. Image text: A refugee woman dumped on #Nauru by the Australian government was raped whilst having a severe epileptic seizure. She is now pregnant. She has asked for an abortion. The Turnbull Government refuses to bring her to Australia to have a safe abortion. They have spent thousands [of dollars] fighting it out in courts last week to prevent this (decision pending). They went as far as to argue Executive Powers gave them this right. Instead they sent her to [Papua New Guinea] to have an unsafe abortion in a country where abortion is illegal. In other words the Australian government are trying to facilitate a rape survivor breaking a law and endangering life of a refugee at the same time. -- source link
