Claim: It will be a public health disaster if hospitals are forced to perform abortions

Reality: In many parts of Australia pregnant women are cared for in both our public and private hospital system, regardless of whether they have an ongoing pregnancy, abortion or still birth.

The uneven access to abortion care across the country is actually the public health issue that needs to be addressed. Currently access to services depends on your postcode. Should abortions be available through the public hospital system it would provide women with equal access to abortion care across the country.
