Excellent first question by Newstart recipient on #QandA. Older women are a key demographic on welfare and struggle to get jobs. “How do people like me have a go to get a go.?”... “(Being on Newstart was) the worst time of my life. The loss of dignity.”

Protesters out the front of Parliament House in support of the bill to decriminalise abortion in NSW to be debated today #nswpol

“The Uniting Church holds that abortion is a social issue, a health issue, not a criminal issue. It’s past time for NSW to trust women.” #itstime #voteprochoiceNSW

Incredibly powerful, must-watch moment. Thank you, Eddie S. Glaude Jr..

Next up is the Member for Newtown Jenny Leong MP 梁珍妮. I think we can sum this up before it starts 'fuck yeah, repro rights!' She's a co-sponsor of this Bill and has come out frankly by saying this bill is for all people with uteruses because abortion is not just for cis women.

Jenny Leong MP 梁珍妮 She shared her own abortion story today and honestly, that is still a radical move. It shouldn't be but it is. Every time we do, we break down the stigma, we normalise abortion.

"As we see around the world, attempts to roll back our reproductive rights are neverending."

"If you don't like abortions, don't have one, but do not prevent other people from accessing the healthcare that they need." Jenny Leong.

"Removing abortion from the Crimes Act means it can be part of our public health system, not our criminal system." Jenny Leong.

Next up is Member for the Blue Mountains, Trish Doyle, who btw has excellent taste in earrings.

Well there’s a truth bomb: unrestricted abortion laws do not increase the rate of abortions.

73% of NSW residents believe abortion should be considered as a health issue. #itstime

And he goes all in- too many white men are making choices for women who say, keep your hands off my body. #itstime

Oh my word, we are hearing the adoption myth again. Let’s clarify- women are not baby factories for producing babies. There’s also thousands of kids in foster care who need homes. Go adopt one of them.

"In the circumstance of abortion, the person best able to make decisions, is the pregnant person."

Thank goodness!

The big-government, high-taxing Scandinavian economies are more successful than ours. Why? Their rich aren't as greedy, so they have less class conflict than we do. bit.ly/2orEUkf #ausecon #ausbiz #auspol
