Parents fear One Nation's abortion stance strips away their right to choose
Anonymous parents ended a pregnancy. Their daughter had a fatal genetic syndrome. One Nation's stricter abortion rules, they warn, threaten family choice.
A parent has shared their story. The parent ended a pregnancy after their daughter was diagnosed with a genetic syndrome.
The daughter had less than 1 per cent chance of survival. The family could not afford the lifelong medical care the child would need.
One Nation wants to restrict abortion access. This removes parental choice at the most painful moments, the parent warns.
The party's NSW leader Mike Newman recently said abortions should stop. He later said he made a mistake.
The commentary warns that One Nation's stance is encouraging activists. Their goal is to ban abortion entirely.
Parents fear losing control over their own bodies and futures.
