Authorities are trying to take down an image of a fetus that is spreading across social media. The photograph was first posted by anti-abortion activist Joanna Howe and it is now being shared by several different anti-abortion groups. The Townsville Hospital and Health Service is currently investigating how the picture was taken and leaked. While Howe claims a whistleblower took the photo inside the Townsville hospital, she has not yet provided any evidence to back up her story.
