Dear friends & family in Christ,
There is now a “Culture of Death” creeping into Australia…NO, kicking down the doors of our society.
Through Fabianism, Islam, Euthanasia, Climate Change, Gay marriage and Abortion!
Evil is now deemed acceptable, and as Orwell predicted, men are now hated for speaking the Truth.
The electronic Media, true to its hidden mandate, has tonight called an organised crowd of 3,000 caring individuals as “protestors” and two hu…ndred, mouthing moronic thugs and thugettes as “
Lobbyists”.
This latter g
roup employed noise, violence, blasphemy, projectiles and profanity in seemingly endless supply to disrupt a pre-booked peaceful demonstration [For the sake of saving the most innocent potential Aussie citizens – babies].

“Dieu et mon droit” (God and my Right) used to be the Vic. Police’s motto.
Sadly, and your correspondent was on the front line of today’s “activity”, they seemed gormless, insouciant and near impotent to stop the rent-a-get uP-crowd of malevolents.
It was on a street named after the bloke who named Australia, [Matthew] Flinders, that a most regrettable episode of violence transpired. I witnessed everyone from infants to octogenarians being sprayed with bottles and eggs. [seems that the Pro-choicers, not happy enough to see babies destroyed, would rather see chicks turn into omelettes].
Organiser MP Bernie Finn received a molotov cacktale egg-slap on the side of his head with a deafeningly silent response from constabulary.
For me, the saddest sight was not the language and seething mob violence on display, but the eyes often filled with hopeless hate of the 2 hundred. Ultimately my heart went out to them as their faces more deeply revealed clear signs of rejection by families and a society that just didn’t care.
This view was echoed and pronounced by every single local and imported ‘pro-life’ speaker on the steps of Parliament! One of the greatest speakers was Rise Up Australia’s own Senate candidate Rosalie Crestani. A fine model for young mums.
Yes , hurt people hurt; but should they be allowed to kill?
Thank God, someone is hurting less tonight!
The following is a letter received by a RUAP affiliate:
“I came to this rally and watched both sides with curiosity. I have to admit I was planning to join the ‘other side’ and I was pretty excited, it was to be my first ever rally. I got the shock of my life when I saw how ugly they were and I had to sit down to stop myself trembling. I am having triplets, cancelling my abortion on Monday morning. Thank you. My heart has been changed. – Melinda”
Back to the Bigger picture. Which alternative is the Australia you now choose?
Rise Up Australia and Keep Australia Australian!
Dear friends: A million thanks to all who came to the pro-life rally yesterday in Melbourne. And if you wanted to come but could not, many thanks for praying – we sure needed it, as the following articles make clear. And this is why we march:
“I came to this rally and watched both sides with curiosity. I have to admit I was planning to join the ‘other side’ and I was pretty excited, it was to be my first ever rally. I got the shock of my life when I saw how ugly they were and I had to sit down to stop myself trembling. I am having triplets, cancelling my abortion on Monday morning. Thank you.

One. Another march for the babies: more demonic rage and abuse contrasted with the peaceful and loving pro-lifers. You really shoulda been there: http://www.billmuehlenberg.com/2013/10/12/choosing-death-choosing-hate/
Two. What we saw yesterday was nothing less than a war zone on the streets of Melbourne. The anarchists and revolutionaries had free reign, and very little was done by the authorities to stop them. If that is allowed to continue, that spells the death of freedom and democracy in Australia: http://www.billmuehlenberg.com/2013/10/13/make-no-mistake-this-was-open-warfare/
Three. Religious liberty is under immense threat by Statism in general and things like Obamacare in particular. Christians have a mandate to resist such intrusion into the life of the church, and to stand for religious freedom: http://www.billmuehlenberg.com/2013/10/11/obamacare-freedom-of-religion-and-the-gospel/
I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And that which I can do, by the grace of God, I will do. D.L Moody

Perhaps some legal advice on how to hold the Police Department accountable for failing to protect innocent demonstrators might help. I have the greatest admiration and respect for our police – society would collapse without their heroic work – but they must be held to account when they turn a blind eye to evil. God bless them!

After what happened on Saturday I was glad to see someone speaking out. Here is what I want people to know and to think about.
On Saturday 12th October I took part in the March for the Babies.
I made my own banner and attached it to a pole
On one side there were photos of a man and a woman with a baby and the caption underneath said ‘They chose life’. Also there was a group of 3 young women with the caption, ‘Able to choose’.
On the other side there were pictures of 2 babies with a caption, ‘Who chooses for them?’
Others had banners and placards with peaceful messages, such as:
‘We love them both – Abortion kills the baby and hurts the mother’;
‘Change the Law’; ‘People are people, even when they are small’.
Andrew Bolt wrote in his Herald Sun column, “I saw socialists and feminists yanking signs from the hands of women older than themselves and destroying their balloons, as if those women had no right to speak and no right to their property.” “I saw a feminist screaming at someone trying to speak to her.” That could well have been me. I was trying to talk to one of the women opposing us, and she screamed at me about campaigning for forty years, and not wanting to go back to the backyards. When I said that we are not wanting that, she kept screaming at me.
When I said, ‘God bless you.’ She said, ‘I don’t believe in any f….God.’ Before I had time to reply one of her cronies sprung into action. A March for Babies badge was ripped off someone’s clothing, thrown to the ground and stomped on, and someone tried to wrench my banner from my hands. When I would not surrender it, she ripped the pictures and captions off, tore them up and threw them on the ground. I later retrieved them as evidence. They are only photos and words, it is the real unborn children and their mothers that I am concerned about.
Andrew Bolt said he saw a T-shirt with ‘F… Tony Abbott’ on it. Actually there were a number of people holding photos of Tony Abbott surrounded by the words ‘Against abortion’ and ‘He should have been aborted’ written on it. The obscenities coming from their mouths and written on some of their banners were too disgusting to describe.
What we wanted was to ask for the draconian abortion law passed in 2008 to be changed. Among other things what we are concerned about is that doctors cannot follow their conscience. Women who come to a doctor wanting an abortion that he/she will not in good conscience perform, have to be referred by that doctor to a doctor who will perform an abortion. This law is totally abhorrent.
In 2013 why is there not a law that ensures that women who find that they are pregnant and do not want to have the baby are given proper counselling on the options available and the risks to their wellbeing of having an abortion? Much evidence indicates that the seemingly easy solution may not be as easy to live with as they thought.
What I was very disappointed about:
1. Where were all the Christians? Whey was such a small number of people marching. Is the majority of the Christian community happy to just let things like this dreadful law remain with no concern? Or perhaps, are they too busy with life to be aware of the laws being made?
2. While we passively waited to be able to continue on the designated, pre arranged route, the only people who seemed able to take any initiative were those who were calling out to Mary, so called ‘Mother of God’.
3. We otherwise seemed very like a group of individuals rather than a united group.
4. Why wasn’t there someone or a group who led us to sing songs of praise to God while we were waiting?
5. Could we not have predicted the hate and vitriol we would face?
6. Why were there no banners about doctors having to go against their conscience and refer people for an abortion?
Sincerely,
Meryl
Well done Danny, Jason, Barry, Catch the Fire, RUA, & everyone involved.
I’m sure the Lord was impressed as were all who watched or participated in the march- certainly all who value vulnerable human life.
When people resort to violence it is a good sign their argument is weak.
Thank God that young woman has decided to keep her triplets!
We pray for those who opposed you with verbal & physical violence- that the Holy Spirit will touch hearts.
Blessings in Jesus

Extremely disappointing that the Police didn’t ‘police’ the hooligans and make an attempt at least to protect the peaceful marchers.
What in the world is happening?
Thanks for the email:
Lee
Thank you for that great analysis. You have articulated so well what I felt while I was there re both the police & the bullying objectors..
The other thing that saddened me was that I felt a sense of “running out of steam” for the pro-life movement/march. I felt that the numbers were down from last year & the rally wasn’t “pep-talked” on contacting their politicians. Perhaps it was just the end to a difficult afternoon.
Blessings,
Robyn
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
For those of you who are not acquainted with columnist Andrew Bolt’s articles and blog I can commend them to you. He says he is not a Christian but you will see that there is no political correctness in his reporting but plenty of frankness and truth. Attached to this email is his report about the opposition to the March for the Babies in Melbourne last Saturday 12 October. You can also watch video footage of the assaults against the marchers at this link which bear out his description. As I watched some of the footage my eyes were drawn to a tall young man with long blond hair and a short blond woman who just walked through the whole pro-life rally being particularly abusive and aggressive.

Also, below is an email from Rev Fred Nile and NSW and Queensland pro-life doctors about the actions of the current Victorian Medical Board. against a doctor refusing an abortion because the baby was of the wrong gender.
No doubt there will be another March for the Babies next year which will be opposed by a rent-a-crowd which Satan has trapped in a covenant with death. What can we do about it? One thing we can do is pray.
In March 2007 six Australian prayer networks came together in Canberra for Australia’s first National Solemn Assembly in order to repent for 72 hours for the sins of the church and the nation that were holding back God’s hand from breaking a decade-long drought. The Lord led us to repent of six categories of sin – lack of intimacy with God, idolatry, sexual immorality, injustice, shedding of innocent blood, and broken covenants. Clearly the first five of those same sins were involved in the approval of that vile, unrighteous Victorian 2008 Abortion Law. During the sharing and repentance relating to broken covenants at the Assembly, Brigadier Jim Wallace of the Australian Christian Lobby introduced us to the covenant between the ” Leaders and the Led “. Every time we have a political election in Australia at federal, state, territory, or local level, there is a covenant made in each electorate between the person elected, and all the people of the electorate. Under that covenant the person elected commits to work for and represent the best interests of all the people of that electorate, while the voters commit to support their elected representative. When the Christians in that electorate criticise that representative rather that persistently pray for him or her, they break the covenant.. Now just lift that up to local council, state parliament and federal parliament levels where the same covenant applies.
In 2008 the Victorian State Government, through a very suspect conscience vote, approved a law in favour of the radical feminist pro-abortion women who introduced the bill, but definitely NOT in the best interests of the voting public of Victoria. (We have just seen the New Zealand Government do the same thing with their Same-Sex Marriage Law.) The 2008 Victorian Parliament broke its covenant with the people of Victoria. The Christians in Victoria broke their side of the covenant over decades by failing to pray consistently for those in authority, and also by failing to pray for the Lord to raise up the righteous people He wanted in parliament after parliament. They chose to think that they knew better than God. And the rest of us are no better than the Christians in Victoria when it comes to praying for those in authority and for the Lord to raise up the ones He wants in our parliaments.
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, said to His prophet Ezekiel:
Her princes in her midst are like wolves tearing the prey, to shed blood, to destroy people, and to get dishonest gain. Her prophets plastered them with untempered mortar, seeing false visions, and divining lies for them, “Thus says the Lord GOD,” when the LORD had not spoken. The people of the land have used oppressions, committed robbery, and mistreated the poor and needy, and they wrongfully oppress the stranger.
So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one.” (Ezek 22: 27-30)
Will you join me in standing in the gap for both the people of Victoria and the people throughout our nation. I believe we need to start this way, and then continue to pray as the Holy Spirit leads each one of us.
1. Confess, repent of, and renounce, all our own unconfessed sin, and the unconfessed sin of all our generations before us.
2. Confess, repent of, and renounce , our own rebellion, and the rebellion of our generational predecessors, in failing to pray for those in authority ( 1 Timothy 2:1-5), and in failing to pray for the Lord to raise up those who He wants to govern us (Deuteronomy 17: 15)
3. Confess, repent of, and renounce, the sins of the members of the 56th Victorian State Parliament who were in any way party to the approval of the Abortion Law Reform Bill and the Assisted Reproductive Treatment Bill in late 2008; (I have attached a copy of my email to our network about those two bills)
4. Confess, repent of, and renounce, the sins of the members of the Victorian Law Reform Council and the Victorian Medical Board in the formulation of those laws:
5. Confess, repent of, and renounce, the sins of the ALP women and female parliamentarians of Emily’s List Australia ( http://www.emilyslist.org.au ) who were party to that abortion law, but who also actively promote, throughout this nation Australia, the lie that a woman has a right to murder a child in her womb.
6.. Confess, repent of, and renounce, the sins of the members of the current 57th Victorian State Parliament, who, by not repealing those two laws since they were elected on 27 November 2010, have condoned their vile, unrighteous nature.
7. Pray for the Lord to disable and destroy the covenant with death that the Victorian State Government entered into when they approved the Abortion Law Reform Bill and the Assisted Reproductive Treatment Bill in late 2008.
With love in Christ Jesus,
Kris Schlyder
