Abortion is legal in Australia, but doctors say an 'unspoken ban' is robbing women in regional and rural areas of the right to choose
Decriminalisation was meant to give women access to safe, affordable abortions as a form of health care. Five years on, the ABC can reveal glaring examples of the system failing people in rural and regional areas at almost every step.Lucy Barbour (ABC News)
Also seeing reports of roughly tenfold jumps in vasectomy and IUD insertion medical appointments the day after the election.
People are not taking chances on all this shit: people are taking emergency measure to pre-empt unplanned pregnancy, accepting the risk that this might be permanent.
People are also stockpiling abortion and emergency contraception pills, and trans folks are building stockpiles of hormones in some cases with the goal of having enough on hand to outlast a Trump presidency.
Also by July this year, 8% of trans folks surveyed had already moved once to escape the worst jurisdictions, and about 40% more were considering moving. Many are not putting in expedited passport applications to ensure they receive travel documents prior to Trump's inauguration.
They do - and here’s why:
Abortion bans put lives at risk. When you criminalize abortion - you’re practically criminalizing pregnancy. It sounds harsh - but women have been arrested for having miscarriages. Doctors face jail time for intervening to save a woman’s life if she’s having pregnancy complications.
When a woman is having an early miscarriage - you can’t tell whether it happened naturally or was induced. The police should not be involved in making that call. Yet if they have ANY reason to suspect you wanted to end that pregnancy? You could be arrested.
Have an ectopic? An abruption? A fetus with lethal anomalies? Doctors are going to hesitate before intervening even IF your life is at risk. They have to consult the legal department, they have to fear for their licence and the possibility of jail time.
Pregnancy is NOT a health neutral state. Anything you can be at risk for - you’re higher risk for in pregnancy. When things go sideways - it can happen incredibly quickly. Waiting to intervene can and does cost the life of the mother AND the baby.
Doctors are also fleeing states with abortion bans - leaving women in those states with even less access to qualified care. They don’t want to practice somewhere that the government is going to dictate what happens to their patient. They don’t want to worry about criminal charges.
All of this adds up to bad news for women - many of who WANT children but will choose not to become pregnant in the face of these archaic and dangerous laws. It’s not “your body my choice”. It’s “my body my choice”. Until people realize that - we continue to be in danger.

'get your IUD now'
'stock up on Plan B'
'here's where to find mifepristone'
but nowhere have i seen posts saying…
'seriously consider getting a vasectomy [so you can potentially avert the risk to someone's life or livelihood]'
as someone that's had one, there's usually a 3 month waiting period so you have time to think it over. when you go in for the procedure, it takes about an hour—half of it filling paperwork out, changing into a gown, and waiting for the surgeon. recovery took me about a day to feel 70% normal, then roughly a week to get back to 100%. there are typically no obvious signs there's been an incision since the way the procedure is done is so minimally invasive and there's zero impact to sexual or urinary function.
at this point, taking it upon yourself to get a vasectomy and talking openly about it is direct action, or at least adjacent

We'll find out in the next 48hrs but the widening gap between those who think abortion should be legal in all/most cases & those who don't may drive sufficiently more people to the polls to help Harris win.... or perhaps it will not; we'll find out soon.

It took three ER visits and 20 hours before a #hospital admitted Nevaeh Crain, 18, as her condition worsened.
Doctors insisted on two ultrasounds to confirm “fetal demise.”
She’s one of at least two Texas women who died under the state’s #abortion ban.

Translation: I am so important and inevitable that I would rather have my own mother violated and oppressed than consider the possibility of my own nonexistence.

"We found that many California law enforcement agencies share this data not just out of state but specifically with agencies in states that ban abortions, and those law enforcement agencies who now have access to this highly sensitive location data can use it to prosecute things that are crimes within their state but not within the state of California,” she said."

"#Doctors are…reluctant to practice in places where making the best decision for a patient could result in huge fines or even a prison sentence…76% of respondents in a survey of more than 2,000 current and future #physicians said they would not even apply to work or train in #states with #abortion restrictions."
The result is "fewer medical services available for all women living in those states."
