In what is good news for the pro-life cause, news broke yesterday that the infamous Croydon Day Clinic in Victoria is no longer offering partial-birth abortions.
The Victorian clinic is one of the last remaining providers of partial-birth abortion in Australia.
The Herald Sun reported the clinic will no longer provide abortions to women post 24 weeks. The clinic’s management played down the move as an ‘operational decision’.
However there can be no denying the significance of this announcement.
All abortions end in the destruction of human life. However partial-birth or late-term abortions are among the most grotesque forms legal in Australia.
Social commentator Bill Meuhlenberg has provided this harrowing eye-witness account of a partial birth abortion on his Culture Watch blog.
ACL believes it is only a matter of time before public revulsion will demand an end to this and to the offering of real choices to women who find themselves with an unsupported pregnancy.

Praise God & I pray these clinics will not open anywhere else.
It’s amazing how many people who advocate abortion will not listen or investigate what happens to these little ones. Oh for truth rather than the sanitised agenda of the media.
Thank God that some measure of morality is finally setting in, albeit far to late for many innocent victims.
As a former medical scientist, I have witnessed this horrible carnage first hand, and it is not a pretty sight. It is nothing short of legalised murder, a modern day holocaust; and sometimes done most horificly. (I will spare the details)
Now, what we need is for the legislators, who are ultimately and finally responsible for opening the door to this horendous practice to recognise the truth – that this IS murder and that THEY MUST accept responsibility for allowing it, and be held accountable.
But being typical politicians – what do you think the chances are of that happening?
