We have received so many calls from mothers who have experienced a last minute reprieve from aborting their child.
They tell us that they are so grateful for those who stand outside abortuaries and offer practical and financial assistance. Under the guise of "protecting mothers" who enter abortuaries a bill is being debated in the South Australian parliament which will stop mothers and fathers from hearing that there is an alternative to abortion.
Debate on the "Health Care (Health Access Zones) Amendment Bill 2019" continues in the South Australian Legislative Assembly. This bill will ban any protests/witnessing within 150 metres of any abortion clinic in South Australia. The only stand alone abortion clinic in Adelaide is the Pregnancy Advisory Centre in Woodville.
The main group of people standing outside the clinic are the 40 Days for Life group, a quiet group who pray and offer help. In fact they do not stand on the premises of the clinic and may be already 150 metres away already due to council restrictions!
This bill will ban any witness within 150 metres of any abortuary in South Australia.
Exclusion zones would make it illegal for prayer volunteers to offer any form of pro-life counselling to pregnant women let alone financial and practical assistance. They will make it even easier for abortion coercion to occur and denies the right to free speech and freedom of religion.
The next three sitting dates are Tuesday 3 December, Wednesday 4 December, Thursday 5 December. The following week is still to be determined.
Please contact your Legislative Assembly members to voice your objections against this draconian bill.
