Julia Gillard's ascent to become Prime Minister of Australia is a warning to all of us, but especially to Australian men, whose well-being will be as marginalised as was Kevin Rudd's. He was "stabbed in the back” despite all her protestations of undying loyalty, e.g. "I am more likely to play full forward for the Bulldogs than challenge Kevin etc etc etc". But he wasn't the only one to be cruelly dumped (see page 2 for how the founder of the Fatherhood Foundation was treated).

Kevin Rudd is a grown man, he can look after himself and his wounds will eventually heal. Not so our unborn babies, whose lives are in even more peril, for Julia is a founding member of Emily's List in Australia, a group dedicated to electing pro-abortion women to Parliament. The letters in "Emily" stand for Early Money Is Like Yeast.

Emily's List was founded in the US and has spread to Australia like a cancer. Besides Julia Gillard, other founding members of the Australian metastases were Joan Kirner and Carmen Lawrence, the economically disastrous premiers of Victoria and WA respectively. Emily's List provides money and logistic support for women in the Democrat Party in the US and the Labor Party in Australia who are pro-abortion and pro-affirmative action i.e. support discrimination against men until the numbers of women in any category of employment is equal to the numbers of men.

Emily's List supports abortion for any reason no matter how trivial, right up to birth. Just how committed these feminists are to late-term abortions (and of course early ones) is illustrated by what happened in the US to Democrat Senator Mary Landrieu of Louisiana. She is pro-abortion, but she did vote for the US Congress's ban on partial-birth abortion. The US Supreme court in upholding the ban stated: "A moral, medical and ethical consensus exists that the practice of performing a partial-birth abortion....is a gruesome and inhumane procedure that is never medically necessary and should be prohibited".

In 1996 when Mary Landrieu first ran for the US Senate, Emily's List donated $112,000 to her campaign, but cut all funding in the 2002 elections after she voted for the ban on partial-birth abortions. To have the financial and political support of Emily's List a candidate must support the abortion of a full-term baby right up to the moment of birth; there can be no deviation from this party line.

Katherine Hancock Ragsdale, an openly lesbian minister in the American Episcopal Church, caused a stir on the internet with a sermon, posted to her weblog, in which she called abortion a "blessing" and called for the suppression of rights of conscience for health care workers. This is what we have in Victoria where the Emily's List faction within the ALP instigated the Abortion Law Reform Act 2008. This legislation allows abortion right up to birth, and some late-term aborted babies are being born alive. The Herald Sun reported on May 20 that "....one late-term abortion is performed in Victoria every day and 54 babies survived the
procedure to die postnatally..." The unanswered question is "just how did they die?" A baby of 26-28 weeks gestation does not die immediately. They struggle for breath and given appropriate care have a good chance of surviving. So how did they die? Did they die of cold because they were placed in a cold metal container
instead of being wrapped in a warm blanket and cuddled? Were they put in humidicribs and given a chance at life or were they thrown into a crematorium as in the days of Moloch? Once a baby is physically separate from its mother, the pro-choice mantra of a "woman's right to choose" does not apply, and the baby has the same rights as any other baby of the same gestational age. So what is happening to these babies?

Why don't the media put these questions to Julia Gillard instead of focussing on her hair colour and her football team? Why has the level of journalism in Australia sunk so low? Why has Australia sunk so low - in this beautiful land with plentiful food and boundless plains, do we really have to kill our babies? If any one has any doubts about Julia Gillard’s Emily’s List credentials, note that one of her first policy changes was on population policy - she is now for a “sustainable population”. These are code words for population control.

Help us defend the right to life of unborn babies by being involved in the Life Coalition (see enclosed brochure) and attend the dinner on 14th August so some funds can be raised in support of pro-life politicians and policies.When you book for the Life Coalition dinner, ask to be seated at an Endeavour Forum table - that will help our fundraising too.

Fear GEAR - now “UN Women”
A United Nations Effort to Enforce Gender Equality At the Commisson on the Status of Women meeting in New York this March, the latest radical feminist ambition was everywhere emblazoned onto lapels, laptop cases and hat-bands. The slogans carried a single message: GEAR UP!

GEAR is short for the Gender Architecture Reform Campaign, whose goal, now achieved, was to establish a new radical feminist superagency with a billion-dollar budget. The superagency consolidates four existing UN women's rights entities: the Division for the Advancement of Women (DAW), the United Nations Development Fund for Women, (UNIFEM), the International Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women, (INSTRAW) and the Office of the Special Advisor on Gender Issues (OSAGI).

GEAR now established under the title of “UN Women” will have billions of dollars to promote the radical feminist agenda. Our Labor government is pleased with this development, but it is another hurdle for pro-family women.
