Peter Dutton is the latest federal MP to speak out against NSW's push to decriminalise abortion.
Senior government minister Peter Dutton says he supports a woman's right to choose, but 22 weeks is too late to get an abortion.
Asked about a contentious bid to decriminalise abortion in NSW, Mr Dutton told Nine's Today show that he would vote against it if he was in State Parliament because it allows late-term terminations.
"It's a matter ultimately for the mother, but 22 weeks is too late," Mr Dutton said.
"If you Google the image of a 22-week foetus, you have a look at the image. I think it's a very difficult circumstance for women obviously in any of those situations, but that's the most contentious element of the NSW debate and I wouldn't vote for it on that basis."
