Abstract: 
Victoria is one step closer to a more liberal abortion regime after landmark legislation was passed early this morning after a marathon session in the Legislative Assembly.

The Bill was passed 48-28 after 41 admendments were moved and defeated in a marathon sitting that ended at 12.48am.

The next hurdle is the upper house, where debate is due to begin next month and a tighter vote is expected.

After it was passed, Health Minister Daniel Andrews told Parliament that the debate had been "complex and challenging".

"But I think it has been conducted in a spirit that I think does every member and this institution great credit," he said.

Nationals leader Peter Ryan, who opposed the Bill, said the debate was conducted in the right spirit.

I don't believe it should require women to deliver children and give them up. We can advise, we can counsel and encourage, but in the end, it is the women who are bearing the children, not the state. It's a very serious decision to have a child and the law should not compel people to do it. ANyway, need gutter repairs? Visit us now at Gutter Repair fairfax VA

The government has caved in to calls from anti-abortionists to overhaul existing protocols and strip charities and medics of their exclusive responsibility for counselling women seeking to terminate a pregnancy. Anyway, if you need any plumbing services have a visit at Plumber Bethesda MD.

 As an anti-abortion fellow, I strongly support those who are against it. In fact, I joined group rallys together with other Christians around the rotunda of New York.  Anyway, if you need any plumbing services have a visit at Plumber Baltimore MD.

re:

Obama is Pro-choice. Pro-choice does NOT mean pro-abortion; it means the decision whether to continue a pregnancy should be made by the woman, not by the government. Obama's voting record clearly indicates he believes the government should not be involved in regulating women's reproductive choices. That doesn't mean he thinks abortion is a good idea. Anyway, have your heating and air-conditioning units installed or repaired? Visit us now HVAC Washington DC.

re:

 I am always against abortion. For me I believe it's an immoral thing to do, killing the baby inside your tummy. But I have nothing against those who who don't believe in it. You may continue to believe on what you think is true. Anyway, if you need any plumbing services have a visit at Plumber Arlington VA.

Re:

I would just like to comment on the passed reform. I'm not speaking against anybody, but I'm just stating my opinion about this. For me, I think I'[m not approved with this reform. Abortion is really not a good thing to do. It's immoral and I stand for that. Anyway, we could not stop anyone if they really wanted to do so. breadmakers
