It is apparently against the law in the Australia to abort an unwanted pregnancy. The couple in question was arrested for possession and use of RU486 aka "the morning after pill". Thankfully the jury acquitted them based on the claim that the woman had every right to poison herself as long as it wasnt an attempt of suicide. BTW this wasnt some tribal court..this was up in Cairns (great barrier reef) and the couple was from Queensland, Oz's version of California.
If anyone is curious..my understand is that the morning after bill doesnt "kill a fetus" or whatever. Its a steroid that causes horomonial changes which make the uterus not welcoming to any egg being released. So the egg never sticks around long enough to be implanted.
