Abortion pill RU486 and three cancer drugs added to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme

Abortion pill RU486 and three cancer drugs have been subsidised, with the Federal Government adding them to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS).

Health Minister Tanya Plibersek has announced 17 new or amended PBS listing that will cost $1 billion to subsidise over the next four years and make them available at a cheaper price for consumers from August.

Ms Plibersek says a number of the cancer drugs cost more than $100,000 and will be able to be purchased for under $40.

Women have paid up to $800 for the RU486 pill, but Ms Plibersek says from August it will cost less than $37.

Why is Mr Abbott pro funding through the taxes he pays and pro cheap abortion drugs for his daughters to access ... if he wasn't, he would make abortions an election issue.

So Labor announce a policy and the left blames it on Abbott

(1) If you hate Labor's policy - blame Abbott
(2) If you hate LIBs policy - blame Abbott
(3) If you hate Greens policy - blame Abbott
(4) If you hate the Independents - blame Abbott
(5) If you hate Aborigines - blame Abbott

LOL

Yes, last time I looked Abbott wasn't the govt.
It was that recently 'departed' woman who lives with her boyfriend who raised abortion in her 'man-hating', Abbott-hating speech as I remember it.

a green_snot post is a collection of words, barely connected and with little to no logical progression ever evident.

After all, we all know it was Paul Keating to blame for this. Or was it Richard Nixon??? Maybe both.

Fence sitting means mr abbott supports baby murder and his taxes helping to pay for them.

If he didn't, he would speak out and make it an election issue.

He supports baby murder yet he opposes voluntary euthanasia.

Abbott is all over the place with death.

Abbott was blamed in 2001 for expressing a view
In 2013 he's also blamed for fence sitting

Bottom line is you just want to blame Abbott regardless of the excuse

Abbott supports funding cheap and easy baby murder via his taxes.

If he didn't he would speak out.
If neo cons opposed mass baby murder they would pressure abbott.

Abbott and his minions are pro baby murder. Suck it in and accept your position.

Now his hypocritical position on Voluntary Euthanasia. He supports forced baby murder while opposes sick people choosing their dignified exit.

Is abbott a sadist?

Apple make a pre abortion tablet, its called an IPAD, buy your daughter one of these and she won't leave her room for 2 years.

Why is an abortion tablet on the PBS?

Labor trying to bait Abbott with abortion. Just how sick and desperate for power are these slease bag Pinkos >:(

Nile bill to ignite debate over abortion

A controversial bill giving legal rights to an unborn child will be supported by the O'Farrell government under a deal with Christian Democrat MP Fred Nile in exchange for his support for crucial state budget legislation to privatise Newcastle Port.

The Reverend Nile said the government had promised to pass through the upper house ''Zoe's Law'', which creates a separate criminal offence for causing harm to or the destruction of a foetus and stemmed from the deaths of unborn children in driving accidents.

The government told Mr Nile it reserved the right to amend the bill in the lower house.

Upper house MPs were caught by surprise when the government supported an urgency motion to debate Zoe's Law on Thursday.

The day before, the government won Mr Nile's support for its ports bill, with the privatisation of Newcastle Port worth at least $700 million.

Mr Nile's bill is already creating disquiet in the O'Farrell government. Liberal MP Marie Ficarra told Parliament that, although she personally supported the bill, ''government members are in a quandary about this bill.''

She said no one expected to be debating it, and MPs were ''deeply concerned'' by it. ''It is about valuing the life of a woman and her unborn child and the life of the foetus at all stages,'' Ms Ficarra said.

Greens MP Mehreen Faruqi said the bill was ''extremely worrying'' and a step in the wrong direction for the right of women to control their bodies.

''This bill clearly gives the foetus a personhood status and seems to be a wedge for the anti-abortion lobby,'' Ms Faruqi said. ''It creates a distinct criminal offence that relates to the foetus and is unrelated to the woman.''

Current law deals with vehicle accidents involving pregnant women by recognising the crime of aggravated injury to the woman if her foetus is harmed or dies.

The government refused to comment on any deal with Mr Nile.

Mr Nile said the government had not given him details of the amendments it might make in the lower house but said he would not accept changes to the bill's essence.

''The essence is to grant legal status to the unborn child in the womb,'' Mr Nile said.

He denied the bill was about abortion. ''Some Labor women are nervous and saying I am trying to ban abortion, but I have put in an exemption to all medical procedures.''

The bill was targeting vehicle accidents and ''all violent acts'' such as attacks on women by violent partners, he said.

Opposition Leader John Robertson said the bill was yet to be considered by the shadow cabinet or caucus.

"However, on a preliminary reading of the bill, the opposition has significant concerns,'' he said.

''In particular, the proposed legislation seemingly reduces the maximum sentence currently provided for the destruction of the foetus of a pregnant woman under the definition of grievous bodily harm in the Crimes Act.''

A quarter of the O'Farrell cabinet is comprised of women, and the issue is likely to be highly contentious among Liberal moderates.

Ms Faruqi said the Greens would be urgently canvassing the views of women's groups.

"The government's position on this bill will be announced in due course,'' a spokesman for the Attorney-General Greg Smith said.

The spokesman said debate was adjourned to allow all parties to consider the bill before determining their position.

Brodie Donegan, the mother of Zoe, for whom the bill is named, previously told Fairfax Media she did not support Mr Nile's bill and he had not spoken to her about it.

Ms Donegan was eight months pregnant when she was run down by a drug-affected driver in 2009, and Zoe was stillborn.

The Labor government in 2005 amended the Crimes Act to expand the definition of grievous bodily harm to a woman to include the destruction of a foetus, after earlier rejecting a proposal to create a new criminal offence of killing an unborn child.

Aspirin will stop any girl getting pregnant.

All she has to do it hold the tablet firmly between her knees.

Why should RU486 be funded by the taxpayer?

I don't see what it's got to do with anyone else but the man & woman who caused the conception.

"An Abortion Tablet For $37"

And sometime later in their lives, those women will go to fertility clinics, coz they can't fall pregnant.

There is a recognised/identified correlation between women who have had abortions, and many of those same women, who later cannot conceive.

Google it.

The inclusion of controversial abortion drug RU-486 on Australia's subsidised medication program has been attacked as an ''abuse of power'' by anti-abortion activists.

When are they going to put beer on the PBS?

Beer is very therapeutic. Heals most woes.

This would be another definite vote catcher for Kevin O Lemon although he's likely a chardonnay man I'd say....

With all the whining about Abbott by the ALP, you could be forgiven for thinking he was the PM.

The coalition's silence on cheap pills for baby murder means they support their taxes to fund it.

Fence sitting = support.

Abbott and his conservative team supports baby murder unless they raise baby killing as an issue.
Will he/they?

If a mother requires an abortion due to medical reasons that will endanger her health, is that not justified? You're a fool!

$37 for a RU-486 morning after pill, after a wild sex romp.

What message is Mr Abbott sending to his daughters?

Abbott is just encouraging the spread of STDs by encouraging easy baby murders.

These tablets are lethal and proven to work 100%, ALP members have been taking them for years, the whole party is one big abortion!

RU-486 is just as hard to come by as a regular abortion. Only a small set of trained doctors can administer it.

So it does not make abortions easier or harder to obtain than they were before.

What it does make, is the procedure of abortion a lot less expensive, invasive, and dangerous for the women.
This is often refered to as "progress" in medical circles. Much like athroscopes are a "progress" over open surgery.

You cant stop progress.
