Abortion laws in Victoria are heating up ahead of the election, with Liberal leader Jess Wilson firmly pledging no changes to existing rights — framing it as a personal choice between woman and doctor. But leaked campaign material hints at a potential shift if Liberals form a coalition with One Nation, suggesting rollback of reproductive rights since 2008. Premier Ben Carroll is pushing back, vowing to protect safe abortion access and warning against any erosion of rights. Meanwhile, teal candidate Sophie Torney is challenging Wilson’s stance, drawing on past state-level battles over abortion laws. The debate centers on coalition politics and the looming influence of One Nation’s anti-abortion platform, exposing deep divisions even within parties and spotlighting how elections amplify sensitive social issues.
