Women seeking abortion services in Australia face harassment from anti-abortion activists camped outside clinics. A new bill proposed by the NSW Greens party aims to decriminalise abortion and impose a one-hundred and fifty metre privacy zone around clinics, which anti-abortion protesters may not enter. Currently, Tasmania is the only state in Australia to have implemented these privacy zones, but they are also planned for Victoria and the ACT.
