The video below is heartbreaking. It reveals the extent of the 2008 abortion bill in Victorian parliament (Australia). The truth behind the law is shocking. Some have suggested that Victoria now have the harshest abortion laws in the West! An election is coming up, so if you’re Victorian, make your vote count! Abortion is a touchy subject, if it’s particularly relevant to you right now – maybe go check out this useful site.

Here are links to an American Christian lady talking in Australia about her surviving an attempted abortion, her talk was in 2008, just prior to the vote in Victoria. Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPF1FhCMPuQ Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8B1nKGIAeg . It is very compelling watching.
Dave,
I had no clue that this bill existed in Australia. I have spent the last few years in the USA upset that there is such a thing as late term abortion, and thankful Australia doesn’t have it. Then I learn we have the worst!? That is really upsetting!
@tony – yeah i watched them at the time. here’s the blogpost: http://davemiers.com/2008/09/17/defending-the-rights-of-the-unborn/
thanks for sharing them.
@duncan – it really is devastating.
i remember following it all back in 08, but i don’t think i understood just how bad the Bill was until the video above.
let’s keep speaking out for the most vulnerable in our community.
That law is utterly utterly evil. It would have been in line with Nazi Germany, or the purges of Stalin. It is a disgrace to our nation that it is permitted in a country that would pretend to be civilised.
It’s not abortion – it is infanticide, and we can only pray that the eyes of the doctors and politicians who have permitted this are opened. I don’t know how we can deny the weakest australians the basic right to not be murdered while complaining about minor inconveniences to our lives.
Andrew, then you have to vote for politicians that DO NOT endorse this.
I fully agree, but the only change will come from people who 1. Share and explain this and 2. Get people to change the pollies minds.
If you want to see this at it’s worst, check out the laws in Canada. Then again have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_law Australia is behind countries such as Chile, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Malta and others. So we are a 1st country, yet we kill our unborn. lord help us!
