    I still haven't recieved a response. I sent the email on the 24th of June and it's the 11th of July. I might wait until the 24th of this month and email again if I don't hear anything before then.

    I'd have to disagree - you should get a response to an email. It may be a letter in the mail, or it may be an email, but either way you should get a response. I've written to politicians before and they usually respond, even if it is to send a stock-standard media release with a letterhead on it.

    I would also suggest emailing Sarah Hanson-Young, who is the Greens Senator who holds the portfolios for Women and Youth. She also has a young child, so would be a good 'pin-up' for the cause. Having said that, Rachel is really the person with the ideal portfolio, particularly as the Health portfolio also covers health insurance.

    There's no harm in other people also emailing Rachel - the more interest she receives from people, the more she and the Greens will realise what an important issue it is. And, as a Greens member myself, I can hazard a guess that birth choices would fit right in with Green policies on self-determination and empowerment.

    I also know that the Victorian Greens' Senate candidate for the 2010 federal election is Richard Di Natale, who is a(n ex) GP. Birth rights would fit right up his alley, so feel free to contact him as well...I reckon he'd be interested.
