Will Labor’s Catholic Ministers Have The Guts To Follow Their Conscience Over Fertility Bill?

By Ruth Dudley Edwards – 10th March 2008, Daily Mail

Just what would it take for the three Roman Catholic Cabinet Ministers – Des Browne, Ruth Kelly and Paul Murphy – to tell the Prime Minister that their consciences matter more than their jobs, if the horrors within the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill are not enough to screw their courage to the sticking point?

Forced sterilisation of the unfit? Euthanasia? Slaying of the first-born?

Des Browne, Ruth Kelly, Paul MurphyThe Bill raises fundamental moral issues on fertility and embryo research which should never be considered a matter of party politics and are an anathema to the Catholic faith.

Abortion survivor testifies: “The abortionist signed my birth certificate. My life is not defined by abortion. I am not a victim, I am a victor.”

(San Francisco)—25,000 participants attended the Walk for Life West, an event attached to Martin Luther King Jr. celebrations on Sunday.

Those who participated in the walk for life bore signs and banners that read “Abortion Hurts Women” and “Women Deserve Better.” Eight California Catholic bishops were on hand to support the event. An estimated 250 pro-abortion advocates came to counter-protest the police-guarded march.

“I was aborted and did not die,” she said. “I will limp my way into heaven.”

“The abortionist signed my birth certificate,” she continued, “My life is not defined by abortion. I am not a victim, I am a victor.” (more…)

Decriminalisation of Abortion Postponed

Dear Friends and Family in Christ,     (from Pastor Danny Nalliah) 

Many of you will have already heard the breaking news regarding the battle for life in Victoria; that is that Candy Broad’s bill to Infinity of Lifedecriminalise abortion has been withdrawn!

He intends for abortion to be decriminalised in Victoria, but with similar restrictions as under the Menhennit ruling of 1969 (which permits abortion only if deemed necessary for the woman’s life or health).

This is both great news and a sobering alert on several levels! (more…)

Dear Family in Christ,

1)What an amazing article by Andrew Bolt! If you didn’t read it in the Herald Sun Newspaper on the 25th July, the article is below for your reference. This self proclaimed agnostic journalist, who insists he is not a Christian, put to shame many of our so called Christian Leaders who say nothing for issues such as this due to political correctness.
Isn’t it shocking that some Christian Leaders are planning to support the Decriminalization of Abortion Bill because they believe that they cannot stop it!  Instead they plan to call for amendments to the bill… (more…)
