WA: Urge your MLCs to support safe and compassionate access to abortion care

In WA patients trying to access abortion care have faced being accosted and being called “murderers”, and staff have even been spat on.

Safe access zone protections could end that, by prohibiting anti-choice picketers from harassing and intimidating patients and staff at abortion care clinics. 

This is a vital moment in the fight for a more compassionate abortion care system in WA. A bill has already passed the state parliament's lower house, and will now go to a final vote in the upper house.

In WA patients trying to access abortion care have faced being accosted and being called “murderers”, and staff have even been spat on.

Safe access zone protections could end that, by prohibiting anti-choice picketers from harassing and intimidating patients and staff at abortion care clinics. 

This is a vital moment in the fight for a more compassionate abortion care system in WA. A bill has already passed the state parliament's lower house, and will now go to a final vote in the upper house.

We’re so close to making history and ensuring safe zone protections across the country, and with the spotlight on reproductive healthcare access, it’s also a critical opportunity to build pressure for reform of WA's out-of-date abortion laws.

As MLCs consider how they will vote on safe access zone protections, it’s critical we show them just how much community support there is for this bill, and for them to take the next step to improve abortion care access. Can you help by sending your state representatives an email showing your support for safe access zones, and for more compassionate abortion laws in WA?
