@ginarush Great news @ginarush! Congratulations!

[Caroline de Costa @CarodeCosta]

@thejamalhakim This is alarming news. There are still many Irish women, from both the North and the Republic, who need to travel to England or Scotland to access abortion.

@Danielle_Mazza Good article from the ABC. We also need mifepristone taken out of its special status so it becomes a drug like any other, that registered medical practitioners can prescribe without jumping through lots of hoops.

[Caroline de Costa @CarodeCosta]

@ginarush Yes abortion will remain stigmatised and harder for some people to access until it's fully available in the public sector

How close are we to human cloning? Are prospective parents well enough informed about prenatal testing?

@Nishaobgyn @anzjog Thank you @Nishaobgyn Yes I'm keen to make accurate evidence-based information about abortion services and law change in Australia/NZ freely available as we continue to protest the overturning of Roe in the US - we must remain vigilant here

[Caroline de Costa @CarodeCosta]

@HDouglasLaw Thanks @HDouglasLaw Yes I am keen for there to be accessible information for media and general public on the progress in services and law change that we've achieved in Australia/NZ in the past 24 years, so many good people have contributed to this

[Caroline de Costa @CarodeCosta]

@thejamalhakim Yes wonderful to see so many people and especially young people turning out and so passionate for this cause. It's clear the message that abortion services and laws need vigilance and protection is getting across

The Refugee Council of Australia's Operation Not Forgotten welcomes support to fund further Canadian sponsorships of refugees in Australia

Mohammed turning five in Canada last week. Born stateless in Cairns hospital when his mother was transferred from Nauru, a group of us was able to arrange Canadian sponsorship for his family.

Congratulations @HDouglasLaw ! Your AM is so well deserved! I'm a long time admirer of all you've done in the area of abortion law reform, but you've also done so much in other fields to change laws, attitudes and services for women.
