Women's Abortion Rights Campaign

Demi Lynch

 

1 in 4 women will have an abortion at some point in their lives. Yet it is still illegal in Queensland.However many people in the state do not realise that abortion is still in the criminal code. 

 

The Women's Abortion Rights Campaign (WARC) has done more thirty street pickets in Brisbane. Anna McCormack made it clear these are not rallies - WARC campaigners gather at city intersections of the CBD and give out flyers and hold signs to raise awareness about the issue. She says more men are joining the street pickets and getting behind women's rights and issues.
