An Australian journalist has been told by an Instagram user to ‘go get an abortion’.

A new study has found that Australian women are divided on whether employers offering egg freezing is a valuable benefit or an inappropriate overstep into women’s private lives.

A perhaps unforeseen outcome of the COVID pandemic has been a dramatic increase in the number of women freezing their eggs. In Queensland, in the period from 2019 to 2020, Monash IVF Brisbane reported a 250% increase in the number of women freezing their eggs, and the Queensland Fertility Group experienced a 32 per cent increase between 2019 to 2021.
