Summary
New South Wales women will soon have easier access to abortion pills after a bill allowing nurse practitioners and midwives to prescribe them was passed, despite opposition from Tony Abbott. The measure addresses concerns about healthcare access in rural areas while some fear it could increase risks due to delays or lack of timely care. However, the bill has a typo and now needs retrial.
