While the bill, introduced by Libertarian MP John Ruddick, seeks to make it a crime to abort for sex preference, NSW Health previously found only 13 such cases, many questionable due to early gestation. Joyce framed the issue as moral courage, drawing parallels to societal outrage over killing toddlers based on sex. Yet, Health Minister opposes the bill, fearing it could drive doctors away from abortion services, pushing instead for regulation through professional standards—not criminal law.
