Two years ago, reproductive rights were wound back in the United States. Now, questions are being raised about whether something similar could happen in parts of Australia.
As the US election draws closer, abortion access and reproductive rights are again stoking conversation across the political spectrum. Nearly half of all US states have introduced near-total or partial abortion bans in the last two years, and the outcome of the November poll could see more follow suit — depending on who wins. Democratic candidate and current vice president Kamala Harris is pro-choice, while Republican candidate and former president Donald Trump is anti-abortion.
"If the GP in their town is a conscientious objector and won't provide medical abortion, they may need to do telehealth or they may need to travel large distances, and sometimes the pharmacists also will refuse to provide the pills that are prescribed," Black says.
