In replacement section 11, inserted by clause 7 of this bill, it gives full effect to abortions post - 20 weeks gestation. This stands in stark contrast to the hollow assurances that the Hon Andrew Little gave when he stood before the House to present this bill at the first reading. There is nothing in section 11 that the Minister of Justice can point to that defines when an abortion can proceed, and more importantly, when it cannot. These are vague generalisations that use loose and broad criteria for post - 20 week abortions. As the Minister has also defined, I do not agree that these are better criteria: "Clinically appropriate", having regard to the physical and mental health of the woman, and, the most nebulous of all, "overall well-being"—terms so broad as to be legally meaningless. The current law is clear that abortion after 20 weeks is only available to save the life of the woman, or to prevent severe, permanent injury to her physical or mental health. These are robust terms that include the awful situation when a mum is carrying a baby that is simply not viable outside the womb.
