Why women are travelling 600km for abortions from these GPs
The stories of their patients inspired these Wodonga doctors to contact MPs
Doctors and nurses from a clinic just beyond the NSW border are urging the state’s Parliament to decriminalise abortion.
NSW remains the only jurisdiction in Australia where abortion is treated as a criminal offence, explicitly listed as a crime punishable with up to 10 years in prison. Women still need a certificate from a doctor declaring they believe the pregnancy presents a risk to the woman’s physical or mental health.
