Medical/health practitioners' experiences of abortion
In South Australia, we have excellent public sector abortion services, yet abortion remains in the criminal law. The South Australian Abortion Action Coalition are campaigning to have abortion removed from criminal law, and regulated within health law/regulations.
Has the law impacted on your ability to provide abortion services or support? We want to hear from healthcare providers and community service workers about your experiences. Many politicians seek the stories from professionals involved in the area, and first hand experience can be very impactful in influencing decisions. We are particularly seeking stories of abortion services/access in regional and remote areas.
