Dear Bill, I think the most diabolical thing about this Bill is the cheek of politicians giving themselves a conscience vote and then voting that doctors and nurses are ordered by law to be involved in abortion or referring clients on to another doctor who will perform the abortion. Keep up the good work,

Dear Bill,
Thanks for the article. It’s a huge issue. In some countries around the world it’s a forced policy and the impact upon women is devastating.
As I was reading it, I thought Goebbels was smart. But then I realised this is the strategy Jesus wants us to use. Preach the gospel of the kingdom of heaven. Talk about the good news of the Kingdom of Heaven. Be ambassadors of the Kingdom of Heaven. Live as if the Kingdom of Heaven is here now. The more you talk about it. The more people see it in action. The more they’ll believe it. Why do we complicate it?

Bill
Thanks for taking this most important of all issues up to the fighting line. The issue in Victoria is going to be an issue for Queensland as the doctor who regrettably gained the right to use RU486 is going to push for teh decriminaisation of abortion in Qld base on the Vic model (if it gets through.)
The abortion clinics are only part of the problem as we have women taking the Pill and its associated product RU486 which bring about chemical abortions of human beings.
We are truly seeing genocide on a massive and incalculable scale within our own society and yes it is up to each one of us to stand up and be counted on the fundamental issue of the sanctity of human life.
On the scale of things, it is worse than slavery as denying anyone the right to live is the worst thing that man can do. The fifth commandment is so simple.
As you correctly stated it is the ultimate act of greed amd selfishness and the total rejection of love and everything that love stands for.

We know what love means and that love, sometimes involves sufffering as Jesus showed us.

So those who have unexpected or unwanted pregnancies should be shown through the love of the community around them that they can gain assistance to see the pregnancy through.

Then they can make a choice- to adopt or to keep the baby. That is the only legitimate choice which is consistent with an act of love.

Thanks David

Yes the abortion debate is a watershed issue, and we all need to get involved in the battle in Victoria. Abortion survival Gianna Jessen’s talk at the Victorian Parliament yesterday was powerful indeed. I have just written it up here: www.billmuehlenberg.com/2008/09/09/on-burning-babies-alive/

Thank you Bill for your contributions on abortion – all your points are well made.

I can imagine for many, many women facing an unlooked for pregnancy, the words, “It is your choice” must be the cruelest harshest words. We are all people including the woman caught with unexpected even unwanted pregnancy. People are made for relationships, for we are made in the image of the relational God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

When someone says “It’s your choice”, it is akin to saying, “you are on your own!” Even worse in fact “if you want a relationship with me/us you have to get rid of that thing”.

As I understand it there are three days of debate in the Victorian Lower House with vote(s) taken and then off to the Upper House.
