昆士兰州议员Llew O'Brien于2024年8月17日提出了《人权（出生活体保护）法案》，规定对堕胎后出生的活体婴儿提供同等医疗护理，违反该规定将成为刑事犯罪1。这是该法案在过去五年内第三次被提出，此前分别在2021年8月和2022年11月提出过两个版本1。该提案得到澳大利亚基督教游说团体的支持，并获得了包括国家党领导人Matt Canavan、自由党议员Alex Antic以及One Nation党成员Barnaby Joyce和Malcolm Roberts等右翼政治人物的背书1。
该法案基于有争议的主张。议员Ralph Babet在2024年声称"至少每七天有一个婴儿在堕胎失败后活体出生并被遗弃死亡"1，但实际上澳大利亚约2%的堕胎发生在20周后1。评论指出该法案建立在虚假叙述基础之上，且与澳大利亚国际人权义务相冲突1。医学专业组织已表示反对1。值得注意的是，澳大利亚所有州和地区都已将堕胎非刑事化1，该法案的推进标志着反堕胎议题在澳大利亚右翼政治中正日益根深蒂固1。
Queensland state member Llew O'Brien introduced the Human Rights (Children Born Alive Protection) Bill on August 17, 2024, proposing that infants born alive following abortion procedures receive the same medical care as other newborns, with violations constituting a criminal offense.1 This marks the third iteration of such legislation in five years, with previous versions introduced in August 2021 and November 2022.1
The bill has secured backing from prominent conservative figures and organizations, including National Party leader Matt Canavan, Liberal member Alex Antic, One Nation politicians Barnaby Joyce and Malcolm Roberts, and Australian Christian lobbying groups.1 Proponents of the legislation point to claims made in 2024 by member Ralph Babet, who asserted that "at least one baby is born alive and abandoned to die every seven days following failed abortion procedures."1 However, medical professional organizations have opposed the measure, and the bill's assertions rest on premises that critics characterize as factually inaccurate.1
The legislative push reflects a broader entrenchment of anti-abortion rhetoric within Australian right-wing politics.1 This occurs within a context where approximately 2 percent of abortions in Australia occur after 20 weeks of pregnancy, and all Australian states and territories have already decriminalized abortion.1
