No. 105 of 2014

Thirty-fourth Amendment of the Constitution (Right to Personal Autonomy and Bodily Integrity) Bill 2014

Public bill · Private Member · Introduced

The proposal would amend the Constitution to state that the State recognises every citizen’s right to personal autonomy and bodily integrity. In practical terms, it would give constitutional recognition to people’s control over their own bodies and personal decisions, potentially guiding how courts and lawmakers protect those rights. The change would replace part of Article 40 and would require approval by referendum before taking effect.
