Can we please stop with the travel hack of booking seats on the aisle and window in the hope of having a spare seat in between? As a solo traveller who has now been stuck in between these travel hackers it sucks. Talking over me, passing snacks over me etc. Just sit together.

My 2 year old daughter’s child care centre educators have started referring to one of her friends as her ‘boyfriend’ and now she calls him her boyfriend and please don’t do this to kids!!! She is TWO YEARS OLD. She doesn’t have a boyfriend. She has friends.

Gosh people. The issue is not the middle seat. It’s the behaviour of the ‘travel hackers’ who hoped for a spare middle to get the whole row when they have someone in the middle. Just don’t be rude & keep to yourself. If you want to be friends book seats next to each other.

Breastfeeding is welcome everywhere. It’s outrageous for a breastfeeding parent to be kicked out of a court room. We should be encouraging breastfeeding instead of stigmatising & shaming. Here is a photo of me, on my wedding day feeding my child🤱🏼

Pregnant people are still travelling hundreds of kilometres to access abortions in Australia. Still paying thousands of dollars. Still being refused information or support from doctors who block access. Still being locked out of public hospitals who refuse to perform abortions.

While abortion has been decriminalised across Australia, legislation doesn’t mean that governments are embedding compassionate and accessible public pathways for abortion seekers. Abortion is healthcare and governments need to ensure access to legal healthcare for all.

If every couple used contraception perfectly every time they had sex there would still be 6million unplanned pregnancies each year worldwide.

I'm concerned about the Medibank data breach that resulted in over 300 people who have had an abortion have their data leaked and posted in a file labelled 'abortion' - this is clearly an attack on women and people who can get pregnant and a way to further stigmatise healthcare

Your suggestion that pregnant people or doctors would be aborting “babies up until birth” is baseless and disrespectful to any person who has made the difficult decision to have a later gestation abortion. You are also disrespecting clinical and medical guidelines and practice.

This is a completely misinterpreted understanding of the research trial.
1. You don’t need a script for emergency contraception
2. “Counselling” is being interpreted as moral counselling instead of health counselling - something pharmacists do regularly

This poor 2 week old baby might have measles because idiots are listening to wellness bloggers and Pete Evans instead of science.
We just got a call telling us that our sweet tiny two-week-old boy has been in contact with a confirmed case of measles.
Tomorrow we all go and get bloods, then we’re confined home until March 23rd.
If my baby gets the measles, he will not be okay.
Please get vaccinated.

We’ve been told by a public hospital that they can’t take a patient who needs an abortion because they have performed 5 abortions this week. Imagine any other medical procedure in the health system turning patients away because they’ve ‘already done a lot this week’.

Senator Fraser Anning’s response to the NZ terrorist attack on 2 Mosques is to blame immigration & say that Muslims are usually perpetrators not victims.

Religion has no place in medical care. Unless the Pope has a uterus and is considering his individual pregnancy options, I don’t give a fuck what he thinks about abortions.
Pope Francis said that abortion was always unacceptable, regardless of whether a fetus is fatally ill or has pathological disorders. He also urged doctors to help women bring to term even pregnancies likely to end in the death of a child at birth.

Anyone who wants an abortion should be able to get an abortion. No reason, no limit, if you want one you should be able to access legal, safe, timely and compassionate abortion care. Any restriction on this has impacts on women, trans men & non binary folk who can become pregnant

No one who is having an abortion past 22 weeks is making the decision lightly. No one wakes up at 38 wks pregnant & changes their mind. No Dr is frivolously aborting full term foetuses. It simply doesn’t happen, regardless of how politicians or churches interpret legislation /13

Abortion is healthcare
There’s no such thing as stopping abortions, you just stop safe & accessible abortions
There are no worthy or unworthy abortions, people should be able to access abortions in all circumstances

Safe access zone legislation outside abortion clinics is here to stay in Australia, after a High Court decision that the laws are not unconstitutional. Harassing a person seeking medical care is not free speech or political freedom. It’s harassment.
