The Victorian abortion sector is extremely concerned to see the news that landmark abortion access legislation in America, known as Roe v. Wade, has been overturned. Victoria has some of the strongest and most progressive abortion legislation in Australia and this legislation remains in place to protect Victorians' reproductive autonomy.

Women’s Health Victoria together with other Women’s Health Services across Victoria have come together to call for more funding and support to advocate for meaningful investment in public health, wellbeing and intersectional equality.
