Freedom to assemble, speak and pray is fundamental to a free society.

September is set to ramp up engagement in the Beautiful Life campaign to love both mums and their unborn children in SA and defeat the Liberal Attorney-General’s abortion to birth legislation, and I want to bring you up to date.

On Wednesday, 23 September 2020 South Australia's Lower House will resume debate on the 'Exclusion' or 'Censorship Zones' Bill. This is a critical bill which will create at least 12 large zones in the State in which public discussion about abortion and even public silent prayer will be made illegal.

At least 6 of every 100 women who undergo medical abortions experience complications that need hospital care. Yet a recent ABC SA article paid short-thrift to this fatal risk and failed other obligations on non-commerciality, partiality and accuracy, the Australian Christian Lobby said today. 

In April 2020, Flinders University researchers published an online survey entitled ‘Australian Perceptions of Abortion Study’. The survey appeared to have bias and, concerned that it may be referred to in abortion debates in state parliament in coming months or years, I applied under Freedom of Information laws (FOI) for the survey’s supporting data.

South Australia is set to become the next state to criminalise LGBT "conversion therapy." I think it's time this whole thing was called out for the hoax and the anti-religion dog whistle that it is.

Please allow us to pray

On Wednesday, 22 July 2020, the SA Lower House will debate and possibly vote on the Health Care (Safe Access) Amendment Bill 2020.

The Bill will establish 70,000 square metre zones in at least 12 areas (possibly more) in South Australia where it will be against the law to communicate about abortion in a way that can be seen and heard by those entering or leaving a place where abortions are carried out.

Troy Bell the Independent member for Mt Gambier has tabled a motion in the Lower House which calls for the removal of barriers to adoption so that more SA children could be placed in permanent homes rather than in foster care.

We are being pushed by MPs into a clamp down state which shuts down freedom of speech and facilitates the commercialisation of abortion. The Health Care (Safe Access) Amendment Bill 2020 will ban any communication about abortion within 150 metres of a place where abortions are provided.

The decriminalisation of prostitution supports pimps and oppressive men and harms women. Despite the House of Assembly rejecting the decriminalisation of prostitution only 7 months ago, Greens MLC Tammy Franks has reintroduced a nearly identical version of her previous prostitution decriminalisation bill that was convincingly defeated in the Lower House.
