From The Panel, 4:15 pm on 5 August 2019

The Government has announced a new bill that would remove abortion from the Crimes Act, and treat it as a health procedure.

The bill would see a statutory test only required after 20 weeks into the pregnancy.

The panellists weigh in on what they think of the bill and whether they expect it to pass.
