Late last month I listened as Hon Tammy Franks concluded her second reading speech on her bill to deregulate abortion in South Australia. 

The Australian Christian Lobby today welcomed news that Greens’ MP Tammy Franks won’t progress her deregulation abortion bill until the SA Law Reform Institute has considered reforms. 

Rebecca DiGirolamo’s article in the Sunday Mail revealed why Tammy Franks’ Abortion Law Reform Bill must be rejected.

Her excellent summary of the laws in all other jurisdictions shows that the Bill proposed by MP Tammy Franks and the Greens will be the most extreme in Australia. DiGirolamo accurately said the bill would “remove legal gestation limits (read abortion up to and including birth) for termination and remove the two-practitioner rule.”

The South Australian Election will be held in under two weeks on the 17^th March. Labor Premier Jay Weatherill, the Opposition Leader Steven Marshall and the Nick Xenophon led SA Best Party battle it out for who lead SA for the next four years.
