Many women are bullied and coerced into abortions and are given no alternative but abortion. That’s an irreversible decision, they have a life-time to regret. For many it will be the most devastating decision of their lives.

The bill seeks to distract from the real violence that is inflicted on women and her precious unborn in the killing centre .This is really a government bill disguised as a private member’s bill to divert criticism away from the government. Please make a submission to the Health Select Committee opposing this bill before the 28 th April 2021.
Please contact your local list and electorate MPs asking them to vote against this bill, which if passed will violate our right to free speech and assembly.
