Abortion rights advocates say they have a "sense of hope" after a regional NSW council voted to formally advocate for improved access to abortion in a city long plagued by a lack of services.
At this week's council meeting, seven of eight Wagga Wagga City councillors voted to adopt a 2023 advocacy plan that formally calls on "the state and federal governments, local health district, hospital staff, GPs, and other organisations [to] increase access to medical and surgical abortions".
