Today Pregnancy Help Australia, which is funded by the Government to give impartial advice to women about pregnancy choices, argued the abortion rate is already very high.

"Responsibility for approval for the use of a powerful drug which has controversial consequences, is deliberately life-destroying…should remain with the Minister for Health and Ageing." – PHA Executive Officer Anne Foster.

PHA receives nearly $250,000 a year in federal funding to provide impartial and non-directive advice to women about unwanted pregnancies.

I assume in an effort to show non-directive and impartial advice the PHA also makes submissions to social support seminars advocating for the reduction of pregnancy-to-birth rates in Australians living in poverty and disadvantage, as the rate of children growing up in such life threatening conditions is already very high.

Counselling under the guise of social engineering is despicable.

Using your position of expert to a vulnerable person is unethical and morally bankrupt. Make no mistake PHA, your comments today with terms such as ‘unborn baby’ ‘slowly killed’ clearly articulate your ideological outlook.

Using taxpayer money to fund your agenda in a secular society is actionable.

Next Monday, the 6th of February, Edith Weisberg will give evidence in the Senate inquiry into the federal Health Minister’s power of veto over the licensing of the abortion drug RU486. The session precedes a parliamentary conscience vote on the issue, expected on Thursday. 

"I’m going to say that it’s not a question of the availability of abortion in Australia. It’s a matter of women having the same choice [of abortion method] as women in other Western countries." – Dr. Edith Weisberg.

"If you’ve had fun, you can’t get away with it. You have to punish them [women] for their irresponsible and lascivious behaviour." – ibid.

Despite society’s ostensible progress in endorsing women’s sexuality, Weisberg believes abortion control is about repression and so do I.

We are women who can be trusted to make reproductive choices. 

We are NOT little girls who need to ask permission or forgiveness of a patriarchal society.   

Mr. Abbott you are wrong. 

In fact you are brimming over with wrongability.  Lets just see how wrong the current situation with accessing the drug RU486 in Australia is.

1. You are not a scientist.
2. You do not do medical research.
3. The WHO does not run programs with you.
4. You have no medical training.
5. You have no pharmaceutical training.
6. You do not have a uterus.
7. You have an overdeveloped sense of entitlement and make grand claims based on assumptions/expectations.
8. You are informed by belief as opposed to evidence.
9. You are not the TGA. 

"There were perfectly good reasons, reasons of principle, not of sordid calculations for saying that this is such an important thing that it shouldn’t be in the hands of the … unaccountable bureaucrats." – Tony Abbott. 

"This use of the drug is sufficiently controversial, if you like – there are sufficient public interest issues involved – for the added accountability of a ministerial decision to be part of that process." – Tony Abbott.

Clearly, in your mind Tony you are Australia’s most pre-eminently, accountable bureaucrat – Wrong again!
