In New South Wales which is in Sydney Australia, a new bill was passes to decriminalize abortion and makes terminations available to those who are less than 22 weeks pregnant without proving that their mental or physical health is will be jeopardized if she continued pregnancy. After those 22 weeks, they will need a doctors note to sign off that the pregnancy is harmful to the mother or baby. Some are worried that this will become an issue because of the possibility that some mothers may abort their child to select their gender. It has been 119 years since this bill of criminalizing abortion started.
