Moves to decriminalise abortion in NSW

There are two bills before the New South Wales Parliament seeking to decriminalise abortion and to create so called “safe zones” around the clinics.

These Bills increase the potential dangers to pregnant women, allow the abortion of viable babies up until birth without restriction, fail to include safeguards to ensure women give fully informed consent, override any professional or conscientious objections that medical practitioners may have to abortion and disregard the reality that many women have abortions as a result of pressure, coercion or lack of support from others.

These bills may be debated and voted on in the next few weeks.

A petition has been developed to allow people to register their opposition to these changes.

The petition can be downloaded here: NSW Abortion Law Petition
