Conservative forces have failed in recent attempts to restrict abortion in NSW, South Australia, and Queensland, but the battle is far from over, according to a new analysis.
Writing for Green Left, activist and medical practitioner Kamala Emanuel warns that weak points in current laws are being exploited, and far-right groups are gaining momentum.
In NSW, a 2019 decriminalisation law included a statement opposing sex-selective abortion, which allowed MP John Ruddick to introduce a ban. Although it failed, it established a dangerous precedent.
Emanuel notes that the rise of One Nation and global far-right movements, emboldened by the US overturning Roe vs Wade, are fueling further attacks.
Access to abortion remains a ‘postcode lottery’, with regional areas particularly underserved.
