Open Slather on Family Values . . .

Saltshakers Media Release
19th December, 2007

On 6 December 07 we said, "WHAT NEXT? Homosexuality today – IVF and Surrogacy for single women and homosexuals tomorrow...."

It was not quite "tomorrow" but, sure enough, last Friday, yes, just ten days before Christmas, the Victorian government announced it would legislate to give single women and homosexuals access to IVF and Surrogacy in 2008.
We also now understand that they may well push the 'Relationship Register Bill' through in the first sitting of State Parliament in Feb. 2008. Please act on BOTH these issues ASAP.

IVF and Surrogacy for same-sex and single people will indeed create a STOLEN generation.
Children will be born without the ability to have a proper relationship with their father or their mother.
Children who will be raised by two mums or two dads living in unnatural, dysfunctional relationships.
Children born with 3 mums and a dad, like Senator Steven Conroy's daughter, or any other combination that surrogacy and/or infertility treatment social engineers can dream up!

When we appeared on Ch 9 'Sixty Minutes' program some years ago, one scenario involved a very immature homosexual who "desperately wanted a baby". He was to 'provide the sperm', a lesbian friend was to 'provide an egg' and his mother, yes the child's eventual grandmother, was to carry the baby (to be the surrogate womb)
The child would not have a mother, just a father and grandmother - the lesbian donor was not going to be involved. There was also some doubt that there would be a granddad!!! What next!

As BILL MUEHLENBERG stated in his very good article in Monday's Herald Sun (attached) "... the overwhelming weight of 35 years of social science makes it quite clear that children are best served when raised by both their own biological parents. He also states that there over 10,000 international studies weighing into this question and the data is irrefutable: children raised in any other structure than that of a mother and a father family suffer considerable disadvantages."

But since when has this Victorian Labor government, or the Victorian Law Reform Commission, let the truth get in the way of advancing the homosexual agenda. When has it listened to the people rather than the homosexual lobby - unless the people are telling them what they want to hear?
Even the Herald Sun Editorial of Tuesday 18 said as much. (see attached - 'A debate we didn't have'.)

Once again, a small percentage (very few homosexuals want children) of a small percentage are able to destroy normality to suit their own personal unnatural lifestyle choices. (2% of the population are homosexual - according to a La Trobe University study - See attached Statistics sheet)

Our opposition to IVF and Surrogacy, like our opposition to Relationship Registers, is not about denying a person's basic natural rights.
What we oppose is a political agenda to normalise unnatural homosexual relationships and undermine the natural FAMILY.

What can you do?

We need you to redouble your efforts to combat this social engineering taking place in Victoria.
Make an appointment to see your local State MP (Lower House) and your 5 Upper House members.
Take a friend and talk about the benefits of marriage and the damage that extending benefits to all couples will do to society.
We know some Lib/Nat MPs are supportive of our position. Please write politely to persuade all the Lib/Nat opposition to oppose both 'Relationship Registers' and the new IVF/surrogacy laws. Please encourage them to support the children, not the homosexuals by opposing this legislation.

Write to Party leaders and MPs:

PLEASE write to ALL YOUR political representatives (one Lower House and 5 Upper House) as well as the Premier Mr Brumby, the Deputy Premier Mr Hulls, the Leader of the opposition Mr Baillieu.
