Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has been criticised for stating he is “proud” that Australia is “globally recognised” for its current sexual and reproductive health laws, which allows late term abortions without protections for babies born alive from the procedure.

George Christensen, a former member of the Australian House of Representatives, on Saturday published a letter Morrison sent to him in March 2021 regarding Christensen’s proposal for a Human Rights (Children Born Alive Protection) Bill.
