Abortion IS an election issue!

Did you know that your taxes are used to fund abortions through Medicare?
Did you know that the Gillard Government recently placed the abortion drug RU486 on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Schedule?  
Now chemical abortions will be available cheaply - at $12 - again subsidised by your taxes.
Abortion in Australia can be done at all stages for any reason.
In Victoria and the ACT there are no restrictions on abortion.  
Tasmania is also pursuing a policy of no restrictions on abortion

You can help make abortion an election issue....
 
1. Contact your Federal Member of Parliament and new candidates and ask where they stand on this issue
 
2. Write letters to the editors of major newspapers
 
3. Keep the issue alive on talk back radio
 
Letters to the Editor, Include your name address and telephone number. 150-150 words are more likely to get printed.  Make one or two points clearly.  If quoting previous letter or article, state the title, author and date. Act immediately as issues go cold quickly. Don’t despair, if there are 10 letters on an issue the editor will pick one, so yours, if not published, will help another similar.
