Since the decriminalisation of abortion in NSW in 2019, the number of GP prescribers in Wagga Wagga had grown to 16 per cent, compared with about 11 per cent of GPs nationally in 2022.Dr Beck said the culture had improved over the past three years, but she and other GPs remained nervous to advertise because of a history of protests south of Wagga Wagga at an Albury abortion service, which eventually shut down in 2018.
Fear of repercussions was something Jamal Hakim also noticed when he ran training workshops in the region five years ago. Dr McGirr said it was important, and a legal requirement, that women seeking termination were referred to the relevant information by medical professionals who did not prescribe.

Real question, who gets to define what a medical abortion is compared to an abortion of convenience?
