Opponents of a bill to decriminalise abortion gathered in their thousands near the NSW parliament for a rally so loud it could be heard from inside the chamber where the draft laws were being debated.

Holding aloft crosses, pictures of Jesus and signs saying “stand for life,” thousands gathered in Sydney’s Martin Place late Tuesday, Aug. 20, to listen to MPs and religious leaders who oppose the bill.
