“Abortion is a postcode lottery. And it shouldn’t be that way. Women shouldn’t be forced to travel long distances, at significant expense, to access to sexual and reproductive health services.” – Qld Senator Larissa Waters.
Poor access to abortion in regional areas is why Senator Larissa Waters has established a Senate inquiry to try to identify the ways the federal government can alleviate barriers to reproductive healthcare.
Huge shout out to everyone who came to the public forum on this important issue in Townsville this week.
