Abortion decriminalised in NSW

NSW Parliament has passed a bill decriminalising abortion, overturning a 119-year-old law and achieving what advocates say is a “massive step forward for women” in the state.
The Abortion Law Reform Act 2019, which cleared the final legislative hurdle on Thursday morning after a marathon debate in both houses, allows terminations up to 22 weeks’ and later abortions if two doctors considering all the circumstances agree a termination is necessary.
