“My body, my choice” in Australia

March 19, 2008 by Andrea Mrozek Leave a Comment

Apparently abortion rates in Australia have precipitously declined.

We’ve plotted a sudden decline in the abortion rate that is so low it harps right back to the time when abortion was illegal and rarely practised,” said Dr Julia Shelley, of Deakin University in Melbourne.

Aha–and this is what I’m after. Women who simply don’t and won’t choose abortion, irrespective of what legislation says. We should know better for ourselves without legislation telling us.
