The Wire

Democrats Senator Nathasha Stott Desjoja has proposed a bill calling for transperancy in advertising for pregnancy counselling services and has said that some services even engage in deceptive services. A number of women members of parliament accross the political spectrum agree, including Greens Senator Kelly Nettle who says that Pregnancy services should refer on if they are unable to provide the services which are sought. Sheila Wells from Pregnancy Counselling Australia says it would not be appropriate for them to refer women on to clinics who endorse abortion.
