Today, upon hearing of Labor’s glib announcement to further fund and promote all abortions even up to 9 months, including ‘partial birth’ abortion- I felt strongly as a mother, a rape victim and Victorian Leader of Family First that I should remind everyone- especially those who’ve found out they’re pregnant and are feeling afraid- that babies can bring healing and joy and purpose and strength to even the darkest of circumstances.
And that if you want to keep your baby but need some help, there are tens of thousands of us who will help you.
And to those who have already had abortions, our lives may or may not be very different, but please know all I feel toward you is compassion and from my perspective, I am so sorry and sad that you felt you needed to do that. And that if you need help to work through any grief from your abortion, there are tens of thousands of us who love you and know what you’re going through and want to help you too.
For the record- Family First don’t support sending women to jail for abortion. But we are pro family, pro-life, pro supporting women through unplanned pregnancies, pro supporting anyone with post abortion regret- and pro babies in general!!
