If a child's life begins at conception, there should be no issue in altering child support legislation to cover those extra 9 months. Likewise the family tax benefit would commence upon production of a positive pregnancy test. Big costs. How would you cover that? If a mother suffers physical harm due to having to carry a child full term against health advice, I am also for a State backed financial compensation and disability support. This will need to be costed. With the increase in children up for adoption, it will also be prudent to ensure a cab-rank system of processing and extension of those allowed to adopt. The picking and choosing of adopted babies must stop to ensure all non-aborted babies are homed.
