The Abortion Reform Bill 2019 has passed. After 119 years, women will now have autonomy over their bodies & healthcare.

@WLANSW Thank you, @WLANSW 💜

Let's take a moment to reflect on the monumental win in NSW to finally remove abortion from the Crimes Act. A right to choose whether or not to raise a child and to receive affordable medical treatment are essential. Congratulations to @nswpca for bringing us all together.

Debate set to conclude in the upper house tonight, but we could be in for a lengthy evening of discussion #VoteProChoiceNSW #TrustWomen

[Women's Electoral Lobby, AU @welaust]

While on the subject of data - 48% of NSW voters said they would be less likely to vote for an MP who voted for abortion to remain a crime in NSW.

@sally_stevensxn @OurBodiesChoice Thanks to you, Sally, and to Grace.

Free, safe and supported access to abortions reduces violence to women and children. If you want women to be safe - stand up and advocate for the Reproductive Health Care Reform (Abortion) Bill 2019. Simple as that. @OurBodiesChoice @nswpca https://t.co/BUjbvDXjJf.

[NSW Pro-Choice Alliance @nswpca]

"Pregnancy, whether intended or unintended, puts these women at greater risk... That's why it's so important for women to have full access to health care services - including abortions - to reduce the risk of violence and control."
