The Greens will seek to split the Coalition on the politically fraught issue of abortion by asking the Senate to vote to jettison an anti-abortion bill championed by two Coalition senators.
The Greens senator Larissa Waters advised the Senate on Tuesday evening that she would move a motion on 26 November seeking to have the Human Rights (Children Born Alive Protection) Bill discharged.
