Human Rights for the Unborn – Tasmania
April 17, 2013
Human Rights for the Unborn – Tasmania has labelled the passing of the Reproductive Health Bill by Tasmania’s lower house as a spineless surrender to abortion on demand.
“No one, man or woman, should have the choice to kill their child,” said the group’s northern coordinator, Mishka Gora. “The child’s location is irrelevant. Being the mother does not give you the right to kill your child.”
“Under this legislation,” Mrs Gora elaborated, “an unborn child that is three months older than one of the babies in the neo-natal unit may be aborted for social or financial reasons. It will be legal to kill a baby that is only hours or days away from birth. That is abortion on demand, and that is unjustifiable.”
“Mr Wightman and his colleagues have spinelessly surrendered to the radical feminist lobby who want women to be granted the power of life and death.”
“It doesn’t take a genius to realise that the right of an unborn child should take precedence over the so-called choice of a woman who’s already conceived that child,” said Clare Williams, the group’s southern coordinator.
“Abortion should not be used as a form of contraception. And it certainly shouldn’t be used to kill off disabled children. If it’s wrong to kill a day-old baby girl because she’s got a cleft palate, it’s wrong to kill her two days or two weeks or two months earlier.”
“Women are not morally incompetent weaklings,” Mrs Gora added. “They do not need to be protected from the inconvenient truth that they’ve conceived a child for which they have a maternal responsibility. A ‘mistake’ doesn’t accord you the right to kill. We don’t allow men to kill their offspring so that they don’t have to pay child support. Women have to take responsibility for their actions like everyone else.”
