Vote: Bills — Abortion Legislation Bill
— Second Reading
🗳️ That the Abortion Legislation Bill be now read a second time
JAN LOGIE (Green): Thank you, Mr Speaker, and it’s a real honour to speak tonight, as a feminist who has been working towards abortion law reform for years and also as a member of the Green Party who committed to decriminalising...
🙋 Personal (conscience) vote — MPs voted as individuals rather than
following their party's position. These are typically called on moral or ethical
questions (e.g. euthanasia, abortion, alcohol law, marriage law), where by convention
parties don't whip their members into a single position.
✓ Passed by a clear majority
