How your MP voted on the abortion bill
A contentious bill aiming to reduce access to late-term abortions in South Australia was defeated in Parliament tonight. See how your MP voted.
Family First MP Sarah Game’s contentious bill to restrict access to late-term abortions was defeated in the lower house of South Australian parliament today, after hours of debate in both houses.
Both Premier Peter Malinauskas and Opposition Leader Ashton Hurn voted in favour of the bill.
It was a nail-biter in the upper house, with the bill passing by just one vote. The bill was easily defeated in the lower house, with just nine votes in favour of the controversial piece of legislation.
