Immoral OZschwitz Law Society claims: No need for foetal rights bill

The controversial foetal rights bill Zoe's Law is unnecessary and will lead to unjust sentencing results, with its definition of an unborn child likely to spill into murder and manslaughter cases, the Law Society of NSW says.

Weighing into the bitter debate over the bill, the Law Society has written to NSW politicians outlining its opposition to any change in the law, ahead of a conscience vote in the State Parliament.

Zoe's Law seeks to define a 20-week-old foetus as a living person, so that charges of grievous bodily harm can be laid if a pregnant woman loses her unborn child in a motor vehicle accident or assault. The law at present recognises grievous bodily harm to the mother, with a maximum penalty of 20 years jail, if her foetus dies in these circumstances.

The new definition of an unborn child in Zoe's Law is ''arbitrary'', says the Law Society, which argues the present law is adequate.
