Labour Member of Parliament Tonia Antoniazzi, who introduced the amendment, said the change was necessary on behalf of the more than 100 women investigated over the last five years for suspected illegal abortions.
As quoted by the Associated Press, she said, "This piece of legislation will only take women out of the criminal justice system because they are vulnerable and they need our help." Antoniazzi added, "Just what public interest is this serving? This is not justice, it is cruelty and it has got to end."
