It is as important now, as it was in the 1930’s and 1940’s that the church be the light in a dark world. We take great encouragement from Victorian Kathy Clubb whose organisation has supported over 300 women, who wanted an alternative to abortion. Three hundred babies’ lives saved! What a glorious light we have the potential to be.

WA Parliamentary members in the coming weeks will also vote to amend the WA Surrogacy bill. This will allow surrogacy access to single men and same sex couples. Upper House Parliamentary members are the ones we need to write to, to express our concern that expanding surrogacy access, further commodifies women and children. Family Voice’s website have all you need to act now! There’s a link that will direct you to create a forwarding email to your members.

Do not be fooled. It is not the majority of Australians who want this. Margaret Somerville, Bioethicist from the University of Notre Dame in Sydney comments that through her research, 1 in 60 in Belgium do not know they are being euthanised and these anecdotal stories can be found online. In Belgium there are babies with terminal illnesses that have been euthanised, and babies with disabilities.
