The demonstrations also have a local focus, seeking to expand access to abortion here in Australia.

Geography plays a major part in accessibility for people in other parts of the country.

In states such as Western Australia, abortions are permitted on request with a referral from a doctor up to 20 weeks of pregnancy.

This is subject to counselling by a medical practitioner other than the one performing the abortion, or when the woman may face serious consequences if an abortion is not performed.

After 20 weeks of pregnancy abortions are only allowed to be performed if the fetus is likely to be born with severe medical problems, and this must be confirmed by two independently appointed doctors.
