“This Never Happened”: Australian Newspaper’s Abortion Claim Falls Apart | Ep 266
Rally info: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/nswrallyforlifeseptember2026
The Saturday Paper has published an extraordinary claim about South Australia’s abortion laws, and in this episode I show exactly why it is wrong. I go through the old law, the Termination of Pregnancy Act 2021, and the government’s own data to demonstrate what changed under Steven Marshall and Vicki Chapman. The previous protection for babies capable of being born alive was removed, and there is now no upper gestational limit in the legislation. Emily Barrett dismissed this as something that “never happened.” The law and the data tell a very different story. It is time for a public retraction.
