Patrick on Conscientious Objection and Abortion Legislation in Queensland

In February of 2018, USQ School of Law and Justice Lecturer Jeremy Patrick made submissions (available here) to the Queensland Law Reform Commission's public inquiry on 'Review of Termination of Pregnancy Laws'.  Patrick's submissions focussed on whether and to what extent healthcare professionals should have the right to refuse to participate in abortion procedures on the basis of religiously-based conscientious objection.  The Commission's final report cited Patrick's submissions several times and quoted multiple passages.
