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…
Win or lose, we must not compromise the Word of God!  We must draw the line and stand firm!

2) I would greatly appreciate it if everyone could participate in the Freedom To Be Born March this Saturday 28th July in Melbourne as this is a defining moment for the next generation of our children in Australia. If the Decriminalisation of Abortion Bill is passed, children up to 9 months (birth) could be legally aborted in Victoria.

I THOUGHT killing baby Jessica with an injection into her beating heart was so wrong that good people would cry, “enough”.

Surely we’d make sure such a cruelty could never happen again?
Wrong. Instead, Labor MP Candy Broad last week put up a private member’s Bill that her supporters boast will let doctors kill children just like Jessica without any risk of prosecution.
Indeed, this is the only solid reason any of them give for backing it.
Jessica was still in the womb, but just a month from term when a prominent Melbourne specialist told her mother that ultrasound tests showed she might be a dwarf.
The baby otherwise seemed healthy, but her mother was deeply superstitious and highly emotional.
She insisted that under her traditions giving birth to a dwarf would bring bad luck and she threatened to kill herself if her child was not destroyed.
Her specialist agreed to abort her child. But at 32 weeks, Jessica was able to live outside the womb, and so first had to be killed.
She was - with a needle to her heart.
How deformed was she really? According to evidence presented in Federal Parliament, a nurse at the birth of the killed child noted: “On delivery, the baby doesn’t look small.”
Yes, it seems possible that Jessica had not only been healthy, but “normal” too.
Yet she’d been killed, just a month before term, when she would have been saved by our laws against murder.
True, Broad, a former minister, did not mention Jessica in introducing her Bill, which mirrors the state Labor Party’s official policy but faces the opposition of Premier Steve Bracks.
Nor did she discuss late-term abortions generally - the abortion each year in Victoria of as many as 100 babies big and healthy enough to live outside the womb. And be adopted.
Instead, Broad insisted her Bill to decriminalise abortion in Victoria would actually change nothing at all, so go back to sleep.
“The Bill would neither alter the number of abortions performed or the way in which services are regulated,” she told Parliament.
Indeed, “current practice will continue”.
Really? But if Broad’s Bill will change nothing, why bother with it at all?
Broad burbled through a few explanations last week that suggest to me that she is not being entirely frank.
