Women In Regional Areas Say They Struggle To Access Contraception And Abortion
Ellen — a pseudonym to protect her privacy — grew up Wagga Wagga in the Riverina region of New South Wales and says a"problematic" and"stunted" attitude to reproductive and sexual health has long prevailed in the regional city.
"I have no dramas with people's religion as it is nothing to do with me, but there were crucifixes and a statue of Jesus in the actual treating rooms and it was all quite intimidating," she said."It was very unexpected and I went to my local GP," the now 36-year-old said."She asked me why I wasn't on the pill and I told her I actually was but that I didn't know what happened.
Ultimately, Ellen decided to continue with her pregnancy and have a child, a decision which she does not regret. Cootamundra is an hour northeast of Wagga Wagga. It is also in the Riverina region of NSW and is under the same health district, the Murrumbidgee Primary Health Network."At first we thought we'd keep it as we've been together a while and we have a house together," the 30-year-old told BuzzFeed News."But after we'd slept on it we realised that we can't afford a child and if we'd had a child, we would have lost our house.
