Labor Party on abortion

[Rakesh Bhandari]

>By the way, here's the Labor Party's platform position on abortion
><http://www.labornet.org/lpa/documents/program.html>. They support:
>"Unimpeded access to a full range of family planning and reproductive

>terminate a pregnancy. We oppose any forms of coerced sterilization."
>The "full range" of services would be free to all residents (not

Doug, please do note that I expressed no criticism of The Labor Party, only
a labor party that did not commit itself free access to abortion. I am
wondering why Max described this as less than full and open support for
abortion. It seems that Cockburn is not be blamed for the confusion here
but LP member Max who may not want to carry the burden of the full LP
program. By the way, will this full range of reproductive services include
genetic screeing/engineering for parents in search of the perfect baby?
