Exporting
our plague
 Not
content with this loss
of life in our own country,
the pro-abortion claque
in Federal Parliament
is pushing to export this
plague to hapless women
in third world countries.
The latest push comes
from Dr. Mal Washer (Lib,
WA) who is calling for
Australian foreign aid
to be used to fund abortion
as a service to women!

Debate Alive & Kicking

Title CRIMES (DECRIMINALISATION
OF ABORTION) BILL
House COUNCIL
Activity Statement of
Compatibility
Members BROAD / Date
19 July 2007 / Page
15
 Ms
BROAD (Northern Victoria)
tabled following statement
in accordance with Charter
of Human Rights and
Responsibilities Act:
In accordance with section
28 of the Charter of
Human Rights and Responsibilities
Act (the charter), I
make this statement
of compatibility with
respect to the Crimes
(Decriminalisation of
Abortion) Bill 2007.
In my opinion, the Crimes
(Decriminalisation of
Abortion) Bill 2007,
as introduced in the
Legislative Council,
is compatible with the
human rights protected
by the charter.
Overview
of bill
The bill amends the
Crimes Act 1958 to abolish
the offences of unlawful
abortion by the repeal
of two relevant provisions
in the Crimes Act 1958,
to abolish any common
law offences of unlawful
abortion and to ensure
the provision of safe
and competent health
services to women having
an abortion.
Human rights issues
1. Human rights protected
by the Charter that
are relevant to the
bill This bill does
not raise any human
rights issues.
The charter protects
and promotes the human
rights of 'persons',
or 'human beings', regarded
under Victorian law
as existing from the
time a child is born
alive and exists separate
from, and independent,
of their mother.
The charter does not
disturb this well-established
legal position and expressly
provides that the provisions
of the charter do not
affect the law applicable
to unlawful abortion
the subject of the bill
(section 48 of the charter).
2. Consideration of
reasonable limitations
-- section 7(2) The
bill does not limit
any human right and
therefore it is not
necessary to consider
section 7(2) of the
charter. Conclusion

Aug
5 - Jack will be at
Canberra Christian Life
Centre City.

will speak on "how
Canberrans can work
together to raise a
godly standard in our
city and nation."
Monday,

ACT Christians will
joint with Jack on the
Highway entering Canberra

"Welcome to PORNberra:
the X Rated Capital
of Australia." There

of multi-racial, multi-ethnic,

sign. Please pray

NOTE:
The
following statement
outlines the purpose
of Jack Sonneman's visit
to Canberra. He speaks
as an amassador for
a wide range of christian
groups ... from the
ausfamily.org
website:
"By
taking the action of
banning hard core pornography
in the Aboriginal communities
Prime Minister Howard
is confirming that he
knows pornography causes
harm. Scientific research
proves that hard core
pornography causes the
rape and sexual molestation
of women and children.
The Prime Minister and
his Cabinet colleagues
now acknowledge this
by banning pornography
in Aboriginal communities."
"...Please
don't let them say it
can't be done. It is
already law in all of
our states and is now
to be law in Aboriginal
communities. ALL residents
in the ACT and the Northern
Territory deserve the
same protections!!!"
