Watching the fallout related to the United States Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v Wade, the landmark 1973 ruling that established the constitutional right to abortion, the founder of Western Australians for Safe Access Zones, Jessica Williams, felt sick to her stomach.
Trying to access services in her regional town was as far from streamlined as it could get for Sabrina*, now a 35-year-old administrative assistant. Some time after the abortion –something I’ve never regretted – I packed up my life, spent six years travelling and working on organic farms around Australia where I gained essential life skills, and cleaned up my act. I was able to create a better life for myself and climb out of depression and drug use and I’m so thankful that I had the opportunity to do that.
Devastation doesn’t come close to describing how I felt when the pregnancy test turned positive in front of my GP. Immediately my thoughts turned to, ‘Oh my God, I’m about to turn 20 and I’m going to have a baby at my 21st.’ I’d heard from local gossip there was a travelling doctor who came to town to perform terminations every so often, but waiting it out in the hope that it would happen just wasn’t an option.In the end it took the help of some friends and a whole lot of searching online before I found a clinic in Melbourne – more than three hours’ drive away – that could assist.
Report those doctors. Actually name and shame
No doctor in Australia should be allowed to use their religion to deny legal healthcare Or you are saying all doctors can deny any healthcare based on their religion
Only two?
Two doctors told me Murdering other humans went against their religion,etc!!!
I think the law is you can have an abortion. The law isn’t the doctor must give you one, they don’t have have to if they don’t want to. Go see another doctor cupcake.
I think Michael lotsofnumbers has some issues 😂
Go another Doctor
