The South Australian Abortion Action Coalition is pushing to repeal South Australia’s abortion laws, lobbying for state parliaments to remove abortion from the state’s crime act.
The coalition wrote to politicians last month, after securing support from over 20 professional and community organisations. The group wants abortion to be covered under the state's health laws and to introduce laws mandating a safety zone around abortion clinics.
Coalition spokesperson, Erica Millar, says the campaign was three years in the making and that discussions are underway with politicians to secure their support.
