The election loss for the one-term Liberal Party in South Australia has delivered a clear message to parties and MPs that SA voters want abortion to birth restricted.

The Parliament has a mandate to do this.

On 19 March 2022 SA goes to the polls. This is the “Life Election.” 

When approaching an issue such as euthanasia it is vitally important to assess what we really believe. As Christians, we believe -

• there is life after death, a resurrection and judgment beyond the grave;

• that we are called to care for the most vulnerable, the elderly, and terminally ill; and

• in the inherent worth of every individual human.

From 24 August, Professor Ian Olver and I will be attending a number of meetings with Tasmanian Upper and Lower House MPs to brief them in relation to the so-called Gaffney Bill. We have a meeting with the whole of the Legislative Council and with members from all parties, as well as the Independents. Please pray for us, that hearts and minds would be changed.

Celebrating National Palliative Care Week

This week is National Palliative Care Week.

The ACL team is very grateful to the amazing nurses, doctors, staff and volunteers who provide a level of care and professionalism that is almost unmatched anywhere else in the world.

Thank you to all South Australian ACL supporters and others who reacted decisively last week to the news that that Attorney-General’s office had declared that the new COVID-19 Emergency laws would be used to override state abortion laws.

Soon after the COVID-19 crisis finishes, Tasmania will have to vote on a euthanasia Bill.

Many say that they should be able to end their lives when they choose. But, as Pastor Ian Dunn and Professor Ian Olver AM explain, the 'final chapter' of our lives can change everything.

Listen to these stories!

The Australian Christian Lobby values and supports every human life, particularly at the end of life when research for cures and world’s best palliative care should be the priority.

On Saturday, 8 February 2020, the pro-life gathering in Adelaide, the largest in a generation, marched peacefully to Parliament House to oppose a push for abortion up to birth in State Parliament. Thousands of people from all walks of life gathered at Pennington Gardens for Love Adelaide's ‘Walk for Life’.

Martyn Iles, Managing Director of the Australian Christian Lobby and Rachel Carling, CEO of NSW Right to Life will bring their recent experience in fighting NSW abortion laws to South Australia tomorrow.
