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 ensuring abortion care is available in public hospitals and supporting and training health practitioners.
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. Policies related to abortion are treated as matters of "conscience" for members of major parties in all Australian parliaments, 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?
