Keep Abortion Safe
Keep Abortion Safe
Open Letter to Queenslanders and Queensland Politicians
RANZCOG, RACGP and other leading health and advocacy organisations in Queensland are standing together to protect abortion rights. Six years after the decriminalisation of abortion, we are witnessing harmful attempts to roll back these protections. Abortion is essential healthcare, and any effort to undermine it puts the health, rights, and safety of women and pregnant people at risk. We call on Queensland’s political leaders to reject regressive rhetoric and safeguard the progress we’ve made. Healthcare decisions must be led by experts, not political agendas.
We have asked all candidates in the upcoming Queensland State Election to respond to two key questions:
- Will you commit to ensuring accessible abortion services for all Queenslanders? and
- How will you ensure we do not diminish any hard-won health access for women and pregnant people?
The responses we received are now published here for people to understand what is important for their local candidate.
If this issue of protecting and improving reproductive rights, we encourage you to contact your candidate to ensure they stand for accessible and safe abortion care.
Note to candidates: If your pledge is not reflected accurately, please contact us to update your response and we will amend as soon as we can.
