1️⃣What if I told you the Albanese Government has plans to force employers to pay for late-term abortions under Paid Parental Leave? Sounds insane — but it’s true. And they’re rushing it through this week in the federal parliament 🧵

BREAKING: I am devastated to report that our bill to protect healthy babies older than 23 weeks from being killed via a late term abortion has failed tonight. I honestly cannot believe that there are politicians who are so evil as to think this is okay. In the coming days and

🔟 Sarah Game’s bill responds to the problem of late-term abortion with compassion and clarity. It protects healthy viable babies. It protects the life of the mother. It does not restrict life-saving care. The choice before the SA Parliament today is simple: Do we continue

9️⃣ In this study the babies were being injected with anaesthesia which only caused momentary pain. Imagine the faces of the 79 when injected with poison, causing them to experience excruciating pain as they go into cardiac arrest.

7️⃣ In South Australia the method used in a late-term abortion to kill these 79 babies is feticide. A long needle filled with potassium chloride is inserted into the baby’s heart to kill the baby prior to delivery. Once the baby has died, labour is induced early and the baby is

6️⃣ A US study of 58,000 premature babies found survival at 23 weeks was 54.7%, with survival rates improving significantly over time. This shows the 79 South Australian babies are not “non-viable” children. They are patients.

4️⃣ The reason recorded for the killing of these 79 babies was the “physical or mental health of the pregnant person.” This is a broad, non-life-threatening category. 75% of late-term abortions in SA since 2022 have occurred for this reason. Every one of those 79 babies was

3️⃣ What happened next exposed Vickie Chapman’s lie. In the first 30 months of the law operating, 79 healthy, viable babies have been intentionally killed after 22 weeks and 6 days. Not emergency cases. Not severe fetal anomaly. Not situations where the mother would die.

2️⃣ When abortion to birth was introduced through the Termination of Pregnancy Act 2021, the South Australian public was assured that healthy babies would not be aborted late in pregnancy. In parliament on 17 Feb 2021, then Attorney-General Vickie Chapman was asked: “Could a

1️⃣ This is what a 34-week-old baby looks like. In South Australia, this baby has no legal protection before birth. Today SA MP Sarah Game is calling a vote on her bill to protect healthy, viable babies like this one. These are babies older than 23 weeks who if born

It's a truly messed up world when the MINISTER for Child Protection Katrine Hildyard supports the killing of children in-utero.

I'm so sick of political leaders who court the Christian vote and then legislate in a way that is antithetical to Christianity. It brings to mind Jesus's scathing words to religious leaders in his time, calling them "whitewashed tombs", which although outwardly shiny and

There are almost no newborns available for adoption in Australia because they are all aborted. In a late term abortion the mother must give birth to her dead baby, given she has to go through labour and give birth anyway, why are we killing these healthy babies instead of

It's so insulting to women who have experienced the tragedy of a natural stillborn to be classed by the Albanese government as the same as a late term abortion. I'm grateful to Luana for having the courage to speak out about this injustice and about her own little boy, Button

If the Libs want to win, they need less fear of the media hit pieces (in fact they should welcome them like Trump, Meloni & Farage) and more backbone. Say what you believe and stand by it. Andrew Hastie gets that and that's why he should be Liberal leader. Watch the full
