Make abortion legal in 2017 - over 500 signatures in 48 hours

Thank you for your support for the campaign to decriminalise abortion in Queensland in 2017. In under 48 hours the premier, deputy premier and attorney-general have received well over 500 messages from people who want abortion to be legalised this year. We've let them know we will hold them to their pledge to refer abortion law reform to the Queensland Law Reform Commission (QLRC). We've told them we want it to report in time to enable decriminalisation in this term of government. But it's going to take more than that to make them change their course and commit to legislating to stop treating women like criminals for controlling their own reproductive lives. Can you help? Can you take a minute to share the petition? - https://www.change.org/p/anna-palaszczuk-make-abortion-legal-in-queensland-in-2017 Or a few minutes to directly contact anyone, especially people in Queensland, who might miss your social media feed, to ask them to sign it? If you're in Brisbane, we'd love to see you at one of our next events. The big one is the abortion rights contingent in the May Day march - but check out the details for the others on our FB page.
