My essay My womb is not terra nullius is now out in the excellent collection of writing about abortion: Choice Words: A collection of writing about abortion edited by Louise Swinn. This is a critically important subject. As Tanya Plibersek says in her foreword: Reproductive freedom is intimately tied to gender equality.
