An act of terrorism against women that ended with the death of a man. Murder on His Mind details the events of 16 July 2001 when security guard Steve Rogers was shot dead inside Melbournes Fertility Control Clinic. The Crown Prosecutor described the gunman as having gone to the clinic with murder on his mind. This new edition brings back into print one insiders account of the crime that became known as Australias Abortion Clinic Murder. Dr Susie Allanson was the Clinics psychologist when the murder occurred and provides answers to the questions that fascinated the public about the case at the time and to this day. What really happened on that day? What went on in the mind of the gunman? How did the victims cope? What really goes on in an abortion-providing clinic? A riveting read for true crime buffs and for those concerned with their own or others reactions and recovery to traumatic events, womens health rights and the usually secretive reproductive crises facing women and their families every day.

How the murder of one man changed the future of women's rights in Australia. Empowering Women is the uplifting behind-the-scenes story of how the murder of a man catalyzed one abortion-providing clinic's fight to protect women from religious extremists. An army of women responded and forced Parliament to enact a women-centred law that ultimately saw a 2019 landmark High Court decision enshrine Australian women's entitlement to reproductive autonomy and respect. Empowering Women gives you a front row seat in the courtroom and takes you behind closed doors into the personal, legal and political twists and turns of this long campaign. Interwoven with Susie Allanson's personal narrative are insights from key protagonists, primary source material, and crucial lessons for anyone wanting to change the law or redesign the world for the better.
