should be entitled to. This paper urges members of the Assembly to make representations, to support this issue and to vote for the creation of privacy zones around termination of pregnancy services facilities when the opportunity presents itself.
In the conversations I have had with members of the community about the situation that has been occurring outside the health clinic, I have learned that women feel they should be safe and protected when entering any health facility across the ACT, that they should be able to do this without the fear of being harassed or judged by anybody, that it should be everybody’s right to have some privacy, and that women should have the right to make their own reproductive choices. I believe every person should have access to health services without harassment and without persecution in any way, regardless of the health service they are accessing. It is that simple.
I look forward to continuing conversations on this in the Assembly and again make the call that if people do want to protest about a particular law they should do it here, in front of the lawmakers who make those laws.
