Queensland s health minister has responded to an MP s proposal that would result in doctors being slapped with a fine and potentially deregistered if they did not intervene when a child was born alive during an abortion. Dawson MP George Christensen wants to introduce a private member s bill to overturn clinical guidelines in Queensland that state if (during an abortion) a live birth occurs … do not provide life-sustaining treatment .
