Children by Choice CEO Daile Kelleher has little doubt that those who oppose abortion in Australia will be "energised" by the decision of the US Supreme Court to overturn Roe v Wade. It ends the constitutional right to an abortion in the US, and allows state bans to come into effect. Jane Caro, who spoke at pro-choice rallies in the lead-up to abortion being decriminalised in NSW in 2019, says the decision is a reminder that, compared to men, womens’ rights are always equivocal. She agrees with Kelleher’s view that the decision will energise those who oppose abortion, but believes it will also energise those who support abortion.
