## Resource

South Australia’s lower house just rejected a controversial bill that would’ve banned late-term abortions after 25 weeks, except in cases of life-threatening risk or severe fetal abnormalities. The vote was 36 to 9, with most MPs voting on conscience. While Family First introduced the bill and the Premier and Opposition Leader backed it, the Greens opposed it and One Nation supported it. The bill, which had already passed the upper house, would’ve stripped away the current 23-week exception for health risks requiring two doctors’ approval. An amendment in the upper house added the fetal abnormality exemption, but it wasn’t enough to sway the lower house. The defeat means South Australia’s existing abortion laws remain unchanged, highlighting deep political and moral divides on the issue.
