NSW LABOR: VOTE TO DECRIMINALISE ABORTION IN NSW
NSW Labor MPs & MLCs
New South Wales is the only state where abortion remains unamended in the Criminal Code.
Last year, the Queensland Parliament voted to remove abortion from the Criminal Code, bringing the state’s laws into line with other jurisdictions including Victoria, Western Australia, Tasmania, the Northern Territory and the ACT.
It is long overdue that this change be made in New South Wales.
Everybody has a right to legal, safe, affordable and accessible abortion. When abortion is criminalised, that right is denied.
We are calling on all NSW Labor MPs and MLCs to support the removal of abortion from the Criminal Code.
The Australian Labor Party has a long history of advocating and legislating for gender equality. Women make up over half of the NSW population, and we know that access to abortion is central to their social and economic equality. NSW Labor and its elected MPs and MLCs should be at the forefront of the push to decriminalise abortion in NSW.
