"A leak of draft court documents reveals
Roe v. Wade – which has broadly
guaranteed abortion rights in the United States since 1973 – may be overturned.
The US decision may influence the rhetoric and lobbying techniques of
anti-abortion activists globally but it has no direct bearing on Australia.
Nevertheless, it is a chance to highlight continued obstacles to abortion
access in Australia.
Abortion is a common, essential health service. About 88,800 people have an
abortion in Australia each year. Between one quarter and one third of women
living in Australia will have an abortion in their lifetime.
The vast majority of Australians are broadly “pro-choice”."
