South Australia has one last technicality in front of it before it becomes the last state in the country to decriminalise abortion.
At 2:30am Friday morning, the Termination of Pregnancy Bill passed the House of Assembly 29 votes to 15 after a lengthy and heated debate.
Because of several amendments, it will return to the Legislative Council for a final vote but action groups are treating that as a 'technicality' and are already celebrating the win.
Because several compromise amendments were passed the bill will return to the Legislative Council for final vote. Given that chamber passed an earlier version of the bill that's expected to be a technicality. We are almost there. Thank you so much for all your work&solidarity 𧥠pic.twitter.com/u5uqV2aryd
