Abortion
information and advocacy kit
The Public Health Association's Women's Health Special Interest
Group has published an information and advocacy kit 'The Regulation
of Abortion in Australia-public health perspectives' which
has been circulated to all federal and state MPs.
May 3, 1999
The kit consists of seven thoroughly researched fact sheets:
1. The global context of abortion
2. Family planning and fertility control
3. Abortion and women's health
4. Health impact of criminal codes on abortion
5. Public health principles and practice
6. Education and training of doctors, nurses and others
7. Public health frameworks for abortion
This kit was very successfully used in Western Australia to
lobby politicians, inform the media and other interested parties
when abortion law was under threat. It is also useful for
tertiary and secodary students interested in abortion policy
and those interested in lobbying for the decriminalisation
of abortion.
It can be downloaded free from our website :
