In a diary-style format, Williamson describes the difficulties and challenges she faced when trying to access an abortion, such as the confusing information, costs of multiple medical appointments, delays and, eventually, the cost of her trip to Melbourne Echoing Williamson’s experience, writer Bri Lee imagines the struggles faced by a young woman who finds out she is pregnant four weeks into a two-month road trip around Australia, forced to seek an abortion in each city or town she visits Though the landmark 2018 Termination Bill demonstrates progress after decades of fighting, abortion is still technically a crime in New South Wales, the most populous state in Australia, and continues to be inaccessible and unaffordable for many across the country
