A crowd of over 1000 braved Sunday’s rain, marching outside Queensland Parliament in support of proposed changes to the state’s abortion laws.

 

The laws will allow up to 22 weeks gestation, allocating safe access zones around clinics, as well as requirements for objecting doctors to refer patients to another medical professional.

 

Numerous healthcare professionals addressed the march, alongside politicians such as Deputy Premier Jackie Trad and Health Minister Steven Miles.
