Abortion is an important matter in the lives of many Australians facing unplanned pregnancies, and under certain circumstances, abortion may be the most suitable action for many to take. The countless women, couples and families affected by these pregnancies need society’s full support. We need to support the financially unstable young woman that is a victim of rape. We need to support the 15 year old girl who’s education and future will be jeopardised if she has to care for a child. We need to support the woman who’s facing a dangerous miscarriage.

Some women would take the wrong amount, at the wrong time in the pregnancy, and end up hospitalised.
If abortion were illegal, women with nonviable pregnancies or health issues, or women who are miscarrying would be at risk of receiving inferior care. They would find their health set aside as doctors consider the fate of their foetuses over their own.
What if I told you that every one of these things are already transpiring in Australia as a result of increasing restrictions on legal abortion, and the efforts of the “pro-life” movement, largely influenced by the Catholic Church’s involvement in the healthcare system?
