NSW abortion law

After weeks of protests and bitter in-party fighting, NSW Parliament has finally passed laws decriminalising abortion in the state.

Tanya Davies and Kevin Conolly have told the NSW premier Gladys Berejiklian they will remove themselves from the party room if amendments are not passed.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has made the decision to delay a vote in the upper house on a bill that would decriminalise abortion in the state.

A bill to decriminalise abortion in NSW passed the lower house late last night, labelled an opportunity to right a “119 year wrong”.

The Independent Sydney MP behind the bill to finally decriminalise abortion in NSW has apologised to women for taking “so long” to enact change.
