Medical experts have criticised the Country Liberal Party for supporting changes to medical guidelines around 'failed abortions' that mirror campaigns from anti-abortion groups.
Pro-Life Victoria has distributed flyers throughout the NT, urging voters to "put Labor last" at this weekend's NT election.
The bill seeks to fine doctors up to $400,000 for not "provid medical care or treatment to a child born alive as a result of a termination".Flyers distributed by Pro-Life Victoria to letterboxes throughout the Northern Territory feature photographs of full-term babies, accompanied by false claims the infants had been "left to die" and denied medical care by NT clinicians.
"There is no proposal to change any legislation. What we are saying is if a child is born during a failed abortion, the medical guidelines should make sure that child is given medical support," Ms Finocchiaro said.legalised abortions after 24 weeks “I think what and the CLP have done is imagined a full-term baby, they’re giving you the image of a nearly full-grown baby, and this is actually kind of scurrilous information because abortions don't happen to full-term babies.
South Australia's clinical guidelines for perinatal care states that: "Infants who are born prematurely at 21 weeks' gestation or earlier are not considered viable. Their extreme physical and physiological immaturity means that survival is not possible with current technology and expertise".
