Join the fight for accessible abortion care

We should all be able to access the reproductive healthcare we need - no matter where we live, or who we are. 

Together, we have helped remove abortion from the criminal code -- but legal barriers were only ever part of the problem. Too many people around the country still face major affordability and service access barriers that mean they can't get abortion care when and where they need it.

Too many patients can't rely on their public hospital for care; can't easily find a healthcare service they can turn to in their area; or have to find $500 on short-notice in order to cover the out-of-pocket costs for this urgent and critical healthcare.

There are clear pathways for change - including supporting and training health practitioners who want to provide abortion care. In 2023 a Senate Inquiry recommended the Federal Government take action to help improve affordability and access to abortion care services. Now we need the Albanese Government to act.

The overturning of Roe v. Wade in the US provides a stark reminder that there is no room for complacency in the fight for reproductive justice. As the Committee's report notes - policies related to abortion are treated as matters of "conscience" for some members of parliament, so we can't assume they'll be supported on party lines. Fair Agenda's advocacy has helped to secure historic legal reform in recent years. Now we must continue to mobilise to show a public mandate for abortion to be not only legal but accessible. Can you join the call for action?

To all Australian parliaments,

We all deserve agency over our body, healthcare and future.

We call on you to protect safe, legal and compassionate access to abortion care - and ensure that anyone who needs abortion care can access it when and where they need it, regardless of income.

Signed,

Fair Agenda will email petition signers from time to time with important updates

"This is a human rights issue not about unborn babies. Its a social and a health issue not about abortion. Clean up the reasons women and girls require an abortion, such as poverty, rape and incest, better contraception available freely to all, attitudes to women and girls. Better education around pregnancy, contraception and raising children, addressing beliefs around birthing babies with disabilities, better support for those with disabilities, support for pregnant women and girls, free childcare, address homelessness, I could write a book. Do you want to read it?"

"Pregnancies are created under a very wide range of circumstances, not all of them conducive to a good, well-loved and much-wanted childhood experience for the baby that may result. The only person who should decide to carry the pregnancy to term is the prospective mother."
