ALRANZ Believes

That abortion services need to be complemented by a comprehensive programme of education plus freely available contraceptive services.

Since no method of contraception is 100% reliable, abortion will always be necessary as a backup.

That unsafe, self-induced and backstreet abortions must never be allowed to return.



Restrictive laws mean poor women suffer and rich women go elsewhere.

That health professionals who conscientiously object to abortion should not be required to participate in the procedure.

High ethical and medical standards must be maintained when abortions are carried out.

Women should not be made to feel guilty.

Abortion is not a crime.
