BCHS says women should have autonomy over their health
Bendigo Community Health Services supports a woman’s right to make decisions about her own health.
Following the dangerous US decision to overturn Roe V Wade, BCHS is concerned about the impact at a local level on women seeking pregnancy terminations (abortions).
BCHS provides specialist nurse-led care for women seeking terminations until 9 weeks gestation.
On average, our Women’s Sexual and Reproductive Health Hub supports four women a week to medically terminate a pregnancy, however the number of women phoning our service seeking information or referrals for surgical termination is much higher.
