David Speirs, who will attend an anti-abortion training day organised by Enid Lyons List, says he is ‘not an activist’ for change.David Speirs, who will attend an anti-abortion training day organised by Enid Lyons List, says he is ‘not an activist’ for change.A week afterin the US, and just days before new abortion laws come into force in South Australia, parliamentarians are set to “mentor” young people at an anti-abortion event.
“No one could want the US experience of division and heartbreak over this issue to come to our shores.” Opponents claimed the availability of late-term abortions was akin to “abortion [up] to birth”. Chapman told Guardian Australia she rejected that idea: “The parliament has decided this matter is best dealt with as a health issue and not the criminal sanction model.
Speirs said his views on abortion were on the public record and he had “no intention” of trying to overturn the new laws, although his position would remain the same if the legislation came back to the parliament.
