Dear Minister, Official Information Act – Request. The long title of the Contraception, Sterilisation, and Abortion Act 1977 Reads; “An Act to specify the circumstances in which contraceptives and information relating to contraception may be supplied and given to young persons, to define the circumstances under which sterilisations may be undertaken, and to provide for the circumstances and procedures under which abortions may be authorised after having full regard to the rights of the unborn child.” I wish to request under the Official Information Act the following information; •What are the rights of the unborn child that must be given full regard to before an abortion may be authorised? •As the Abortion Supervisory Committee believes that it is not responsible for ensuring that full regard is given to the rights of the unborn child before it is killed in an abortion, who then is responsible? •In drafting new legislation to remove unborn children from the protection of the Crimes Act section 182. Killing an unborn child, will you include in your draft legislation a requirement that abortions may be authorised only after full regard to the rights of the unborn child.
