"The 2022 news that the US Supreme Court had overturned Roe v Wade and ended
the constitutional right to abortion sent shockwaves around the world.

For Australian opponents of abortion who had long looked to the US for
leadership and inspiration, it prompted rejoicing.

As a leader of Cherish Life Queensland put it, “if the USA can do it, with
God’s help, so can we”.

In late 2024, the abortion issue has suddenly erupted in Queensland and South
Australia. A subset of local conservatives, energised by the fall of Roe v
Wade
 and the example of Donald Trump, are embracing the divisive “culture war”
tactics that dominate US politics."
