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. 

Signed,

What a woman does with her body is hers and only her choice. God bothering narcissist are the criminals not women."

"Pro choice is not pro abortion. It is nobody’s business but their own what they choose to do with their body. Wether you agree or disagree it should be the same principle as freedom of speech."

"All women should be able to make their own decisions about what they do with their bodies . Having a baby is a lifelong comitment . If a woman is pressured to make this commitment without any choice it can be detrimental for the health of her child and herself"

"I feel taking away a woman’s choice regarding her own body may as well be taking a basic human right. I for one, believe abortion should be there as an option for women regardless of your beliefs. For cases like rape, accidents in youth and dangerous pregnancies. If you go through with this, many women’s health will be compromised as a result of unprofessional home/back alley abortions. This is unfair."
