Against the backdrop of a reticent public sector, Baird describes a system of predominantly private provision, which has imposed barriers to access on women already marginalised by poverty, rural and remote residency, lack of Medicare entitlement, racism, and other factors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTracing changes in the private sector, the long struggle to make medical abortion available, and the nationwide decriminalisation of abortion since 2002, Baird introduces readers to the large cast of 'champions' and everyday healthcare workers and activists who have persisted in their commitment to make abortion care available when governments and the medical profession have so often failed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on oral history interviews conducted nationwide with abortion-providing doctors, nurses, counsellors and managers, women's health workers, academics, and community activists, Baird brings a critical feminist analysis to create a sophisticated historical narrative of abortion provision over the last thirty years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46829817889004,"sku":"9780522878400","price":45.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/3918543482374.jpg?v=1758262601"},{"product_id":"personal-politics-by-michelle-arrow-9781922979605","title":"Personal Politics","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe achievement of marriage equality in Australia in 2017 was hailed by many as the crowning event of a fifty-year story of hard work by activists, which began with campaigns to decriminalise sex between men in the early 1970s. In that same five decades, feminist activism, including campaigns for abortion rights, the reform of family law, and forms of welfare to support survivors of domestic violence, has similarly remade the rights and entitlements of Australian women.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut has that story been one of continual progress and success?
