Free Abortion on Demand!

20 August 2019 – Today, NSW Liberal Premier Gladys Berejiklian delayed for several weeks a bill in the Upper House that would have finally decriminalised abortion in NSW after pressure from right-wing politicians. Following a decades long struggle by abortion rights activists and supporters of women’s rights, the NSW Lower House voted for the legislation. However, conservative activists and politicians like Barnaby Joyce are furiously agitating on the streets in large protests aimed at once again preventing women having the right to abortion. This right amounts to the right of women to decide what happens to their own bodies. Those opposed to women having this right are working to either stifle the abortion decriminalisation bill or to add qualifications that would restrict the right to choose. Already they have forced an amendment giving doctors the power to push counselling upon women seeking abortion. Such counselling can often be humiliating for the woman concerned and often makes, what is often an emotional decision for a woman, much more painful.

We demand the dropping of all such qualifications and restrictions on women’s right to choose. Abortion must be made legal and solely on demand of the woman concerned. The right-wing opponents of women’s right to choose must be resisted.

If abortion is decriminalised it will be an important victory. But there will still be a big problem. The procedure is often difficult to access especially for women in rural areas. Moreover, many of the abortion services are privately run and thus the procedure is often out of reach of lower income women. Yet it is precisely lower-income women who need the right to choose the most as a women’s decision to have an abortion can often be an economic decision – based on a reality that she may simply be unable to adequately provide for and look after a child that she brings into the world. Thus ensuring women’s true right to choose means not only ensuring the right to abortion free of qualifications but also means ensuring that the procedure is a free, safe and widely available service provided by the public health system; and means ensuring that lower-income women are lifted out of poverty.

It is the task of the entire working class movement – in which history has destined working class women to play the lead role – to fight for free abortion on demand and to champion the broader struggle for women’s emancipation and social equality. As well as standing for free abortion on demand, Trotskyist Platform fights for equal pay for equal work, guaranteed permanent jobs for all and free around the clock childcare. We also stand for a system that will provide free pre-school education, free school lunches at all schools and after-school sports, music and cultural activities provided for free by the state alongside free transport from school to and from these activities. The struggle to realise and provide the resources for all these measures poses the need to strip the economy away from the filthy rich capitalist exploiters and place it into public ownership under a workers government.
