Abortion Decriminalised by New South Wales Parliament

That the Parliament notes that abortion has been decriminalised by the Parliament of New South Wales; considers that the devolution of powers over abortion law means that the Scottish Government has an opportunity to improve women's lives in Scotland; acknowledges that organisations such as Engender, Scottish Women's Aid, Rape Crisis Scotland, Zero Tolerance, Close the Gap, Amnesty Scotland and NUS Scotland, believe that the Scottish Government should take action to decriminalise abortion, and improve access, support and services around reproductive rights; believes that access to safe, legal abortion is a fundamental element of a woman’s right to bodily autonomy and reproductive choice and health, and considers that the Scottish Government should take steps to decriminalise abortion and move towards removing the "two doctors rule" to ensure women’s legal right to choose.
