Speak up to help win safe and legal abortion care in NSW

Right now, there’s a historic opportunity to secure safe, legal and compassionate access to abortion care in NSW.

Laws to decriminalise abortion are being considered by the parliament, and they will be brought to their final vote in the week of the 15th September.

Members of parliament will be given a personal ‘conscience vote’ on the bill, which means that each wavering and undecided MP needs to be personally convinced.

It’s critical we show every MP that their constituents want them to support the legislation as it stands. That’s why every voice counts. Get involved in the campaign by signing and sharing the petition for reform.

Under current NSW law, abortion is a crime for a woman and doctor, except if woman's physical or mental health is in serious danger. These laws have a chilling effect on doctors willingness to provide abortion, and mean many doctors aren't willing to provide terminations in any circumstances.

New laws have been co-sponsored by 15 MPs, and have passed the lower house. Now they are being considered by the upper house, with 20 amendments expected to be proposed in the coming weeks.

 

Members of Parliament,

We urge you to vote to decriminalise abortion.

"It is important to me that women have the choice to do what they want with their bodies. Without abortion it leaves some children at the hands of parents who never wanted them causing lasting psychological affects."

"Some people shouldn’t have children, some people don’t want to have children and some people are smart enough to realise that they simply could my afford to have children at that preset time. It is better for a child to sometimes never have been born."

"It’s a women’s body and her choice. When did a woman ever tell a male what to do with their reproductive system, so why is it fair for a male to do it to a female. Sometimes unwanted or unplanned pregnancies do happen and abortion is the best option."
Wendy , 4520  /  signed 2017-02-19 08:55:37 +1100
"When given the choice, most women choose pro life anyway but it is their choice to make, they who live with the effects on their health and body that any pregnancy has, and on their lives. Illegal abortions kill or maim more women and sometimes their babies and costs the health system more, than abortion does."
