Anti-abortion campaigner, Dr Joanna Howe, has been banned from the South Australian parliament, in what she says is a “hit job” in an attempt to silence her.
Dr Howe, a professor of law at University of Adelaide, was involved in preparing the Forced Birth law, which would have seen late term abortions stopped in favour of the babies being birthed alive and adopted out.
The legislation was narrowly outvoted and failed to progress.
According to Legislative Council president Terry Stephens, he received several complaints of intimidating behaviour by Dr Howe.
On her social media, Joanna Howe denies the claims and says she has not done anything outrageous enough to be banned.
She says pro-abortion politicians and media have colluded together to frame her as a bully and used parliamentary privilege to further assassinate her character.
Joanna Howe says the ban has not been given any expiration date so could be forever.
Dr Howe also says she has not been given a chance to respond to the claims nor any way to seek justice.
