Brisbane’s Catholic Archbishop has urged his flock to reject American-style “ideological warfare” amid an increasingly rancorous debate over Queensland’s push to decriminalise abortion.
Warning against importing the “radical polarisation” seen in the US, Mark Coleridge pledged to campaign “humbly but forcefully” for MPs to reject Labor’s push to legalise abortion on request for women up to 22 weeks’ pregnant.
