In the state in which I live (South Australia), it is free and easy to get an abortion.  One has to have an ultrasound, and has to be described by a doctor as medically unfit to continue with the pregnancy, but fortunately the doctors and nurses who work in the clinics try to make it as painless as possible.

There are other states in which this isn't the case, as you will read from the story, and I think that this is a classic example of WOC and lower-income women getting a raw deal when it comes to health care, even in a country in which the health system is socialised.
