has abstract	R v Davidson, also known (particularly among medical practitioners) as the Menhennitt ruling, was a significant ruling delivered in the Supreme Court of Victoria on 26 May 1969. It concerned the legality of abortion in the Australian state of Victoria. The ruling was not the end of the case, but rather answered certain questions of law about the admissibility of evidence, so as to allow the trial to proceed. In the ruling, Justice Menhennitt ruled that abortion might be lawful if necessary to protect the physical or mental health of the woman, provided that the danger involved in the abortion did not outweigh the danger which the abortion was designed to prevent. It was the first ruling on the legality of abortion in any part of Australia. The principles put forward by Justice Menhennitt have since been drawn upon in other parts of the country. (en)
date decided	1969-05-26 (xsd:date)
opinions	For an abortion to be not unlawful, the person performing the abortion must have an honest and reasonable belief that the act was: # necessary to protect the woman from serious danger to her life or physical or mental health; and # in the circumstances not out of proportion to the danger to be averted.
