Abortion/termination of pregnancy is a procedure that should be prescribed and undertaken by a doctor in a medical setting according to accepted protocols where the health and well-being of the women is protected. Access to termination of pregnancy should be guaranteed by statute and available in state/public health facilities. HCC welcomes WA’s adoption of safe zones ensuring protesting outside abortion clinics will no longer be allowed. WA was the final Australian jurisdiction to adopt safe zones legislation, in August 2021.
