## Resource

South Australia’s parliament rejected a controversial late-term abortion bill for the third time, with lawmakers voting overwhelmingly against it despite a slim upper house passage. The bill, which would have restricted abortions after 25 weeks to life-saving cases and removed mental health as a valid reason, faced fierce opposition—even surprising Premier Peter Malinauskas, who voted yes. Critics called the effort “cruel” and stigmatizing, while supporters pushed for stricter oversight. Though an amendment allowed abortions in cases of severe fetal abnormalities, the core restrictions remained contentious. Advocates for reproductive rights celebrated the defeat, urging lawmakers to focus instead on expanding access—especially in rural areas—and ensuring evidence-based, compassionate care.
