Tayla-Jane Jackson had a late-term abortion in 2023 with the agreement of two doctors. She does not want a private member's bill introduced by Liberal MLC Ben Hood to pass parliament.
The 31-year-old self-described feminist, Lana Del Rey fan, and single mum was browsing shops when, acting on a niggling feeling, she ducked into a chemist.While most people her age were studying, partying, or forging a career, she was struggling to make ends meet.She was staying at a friend's house and raising a six-year-old dinosaur-obsessed son, who lives with what his mum describes as "a list of diagnoses that eventually just turn into a bunch of letter acronyms".
"I try to do the best I can for me and my son and give us the best lives we can, but babies are very hard, and I know that with two little ones, I would not be able to cope," she says.Three years after passing state parliament, South Australia's abortion laws are once again under the microscope. "That is where we are putting a line in this bill — at 28 weeks, at the start of the third trimester — not removing a mother's choice, but giving a baby every chance to survive."The south-east MP is from the conservative Liberal faction, which includes politicians like Senator Alex Antic, federal MP Tony Pasin and former member for Boothby and now candidate for the seat, Nicolle Flint.
"There are people who don't want this to go to the lower house, there are people who don't want this to pass for purely political reasons."Photo shows Anonymous woman lies in a bed with heart rate monitor clipped on finger at the Marie Stopes clinic in Melbourne.
