Joanna Howe

Joanna Howe is an Australian anti-abortion activist. She has recently gained notoriety for publishing a photograph of a foetus, which she claims was taken inside a Townsville hospital's room for grieving parents. Howe states that a “whistleblower” sent her the image. The image, which refers to the foetus as "baby Samuel," is now being circulated by other anti-abortion activists. Authorities are attempting to remove the image from social media platforms. Townsville hospital is investigating a potential privacy breach related to the photograph. Howe's actions have brought renewed attention to the abortion debate in Australia and raised concerns about privacy and the use of sensitive images in activism.
