Your Body, Who's Choice? | All About Women 2025
Sunday, 10 August, 2025

The overturning of Roe v. Wade by the US Supreme Court sent shock waves around the world. And while abortion rights seemed to be settled in Australia, there have been attempts - on both sides of politics - to undermine them here. Abortion restrictions were proposed in at least two Australian states, while debate continues about whether publicly funded hospitals can refuse to perform the procedure. In this podcast, Jane Caro, Summer May Finlay and Charlotte Mortlock canvass the current state of debate in Australia and examine how seriously to take these recent threats. Could it really happen here? This event was hosted by Gina Rushton and recorded live at Sydney Opera House on 9 March 2025 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
