All kinds of women and people with uteruses have abortions for all kinds of reasons. Around one in three Australian women will have an abortion in their lifetime. The vast majority of Australians support access to abortion, including those who identify with a religious faith.
Abortions are typically provided through one of two methods – either by a surgical procedure or through the use of prescribed medication, known as Early Medication Abortion (EMA).
Although EMAs have the potential to radically improve services for rural patients, in South Australia there are still barriers to access.
