For many years, Australians believed sex-selective abortion wasn’t an issue in our own backyard. But recent studies and data from NSW birth records have revealed a disturbing reality: some children are being targeted for termination simply because they are female.

Peer-reviewed research and statistical analysis of birth ratios in NSW indicate that sex selection is occurring, disproportionately affecting baby girls.

John Ruddick MLC’s common-sense bill, The Abortion Law Reform Amendment (Sex Selection Prohibition) Bill 2025, will:

• Make it illegal to perform or assist in an abortion if the primary reason is the sex of the child.
• Ensure that prenatal technology is used to support health, not to facilitate discrimination.
• Send a clear message that NSW values daughters as much as sons.
