KEY POINTS:
A High Court judge has questioned the lawfulness of many abortions authorised by consultants.
In a review of the workings of the Abortion Supervisory Committee initiated by Right To Life New Zealand, Justice Forrest Miller said there was reason to doubt the legality of many abortions, Radio New Zealand reported today.
At a hearing in April, Right to Life's lawyer said that the committee was not supervising the work of certifying consultants as it should and that had led to abortion on request.
Is current medical consultancy procedure leading to 'abortions on request'?
