Australia's Greatest Tragedy
The Hon. Fred Nile, MLC
Australia's greatest tragedy is the annual murder of 100,000 Australian unborn babies according to Hon Tony Abbott, the Leader of the Federal Opposition in the Commonwealth Parliament in a speech he made to a Catholic conference in Sydney, reported in News Weekly, November 20, 2004.
Now the Gillard ALP Government wants to subsidise the abortion pill of RU486 to reduce its price to as little as $12! Excellent articles have been published in Family World News:

Urgent action to save unborn babies' lives
It is vital that action be taken to reduce the number of abortions, ideally to prevent all abortions. However, we must do something to save unborn babies’ lives today, not in 50 years’ time! Otherwise, God will hold us to account.
Unfortunately, some Christians argue that nothing should be done until we stop all abortions, which has been a failed policy for nearly 40 years.The Christian Democratic Party has introduced five pro-life Bills and is seeking support from pro-life MPs before we vote on each Bill.
