    A pregnant Rohingyan couple seeking asylum in Australia but transported to Nauru say the conditions are so bad there that they decided to get an abortion.Mamun Motiur, 24, says he and his wife, Salima, met in Indonesia while on their way to Australia.The father says he and his wife made the decision to terminate the pregnancy because of the heat in the camp, the long waits for food and the poor state of facilities such as toilets.The couple's lawyer says Salima was about six weeks pregnant when the couple was flown to Brisbane, where she had an abortion.Immigration Minister Scott Morrison has denied that the conditions were to blame and labelled the claim "outrageous".
