What can pro-choice supporters do to support change in Queensland?
Nonetheless, MPs are usually rather pragmatic people. Those who are dismayed by the legal prosecution of the Cairns couple and angered by the paternalistic righteousness of the criminal code need to ensure their own local parliamentary representative acts in a manner informed by community demand. Pro Choice Cairns is committed to sustained action: we hope to continue raising awareness, enlisting supporters and providing the irrefutable evidence that the vast majority of constituents are uncompromisingly pro-choice. Please join us. Organise an action in your locality, participate in the courthouse vigil, contact and meet with your local MP, and enlist the support of friends, family and colleagues. We need to convince each MP that the shameful treatment of women and girls in Queensland is totally unacceptable, and electorally self-defeating. Change may be slow but change is inevitable.
