After three hours of heated debate, controversial abortion reforms were voted down by South Australia's upper house - nine members voted in favour of the bill and 10 against.

The Live Births Amendment Bill, introduced by Liberal MLC Ben Hood, would have required mothers seeking abortions after 27 weeks and 6 days - an extremely rare occurrence - to deliver their babies alive.

Guest: Michelle Lenskink, Liberal MP and the Shadow Minister for Women

Producers: Max Chalmers and Eleni Psaltis
