Roe v Wade

Australia’s own versions of Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett are feeling inspired by what what’s happened in the US Supreme Court.

In the USA, women’s bodies are now more regulated than guns thanks to a decision by the Supreme Court that has ended the constitutional right to abortion.

In Australia, access to abortion is still a complex issue, despite the procedure being mostly decriminalised in states and territories.

An initial leaked draft opinion suggests the United States Supreme Court has voted to strike down Roe v Wade.
