CONTENT WARNING: abortion
In September 2019, the NSW Parliament passed a historic bill that would decriminalise abortion in NSW.
That change has been met with huge controversy, raising debates about women’s rights and the interaction between law and morality.
In this episode of Footnotes, we want to delve into abortion reform from a legal, medical and social standpoint to understand how it came about, what it means to women in NSW and, now that it’s law, what the next steps are.
Associate Professor Kirsten Black is the Joint Head of the Discipline of Obstetrics, Gynaecology, and Neonatology at the University of Sydney. Thanks to Professor Black for taking the time to chat and sharing with us her unique perspective.
