Medicare Funding for Abortions - Jim Wallace

http://www.australianchristian.net

Jim Wallace, managing director of the Australian Christian Lobby (ACL) discusses Medicare Funding for Abortions with David Gibbons from InFocus.

On 17 September 2008, Senator Guy Barnett (Liberal, Tas) will move a disallowance motion in the Senate seeking to tip the balance of power in favour of voiceless unborn children. The motion aims to terminate Medicare funding for abortions performed in the second trimester of pregnancy -- 14 to 26 weeks gestation.

Partial birth abortion is a brutal method used to terminate pregnancies during the second trimester of pregnancy. Although banned in the United States, this horrific method of abortion may attract a Medicare benefit.

Well said! It's a shame bigots like Jim Wallace contiously stick their noses in other peoples business, whether its opposing abortion or opposing same-sex marriage. It's people like him that hold Australia back from being a secular society. He needs to shut up, keep his views to himself and mind his own body as well as his own marrital status!

I am more than happy for my tax payer money helping out young women in a fix. Christians should shut up.

Wallace, you're a disgrace, on all levels. GTFO of Australian public life.

extremist!!

Well, I guess I could agree that the government shouldn't be paying for it...but does the world need more overcrowding? Non-profit organizations would better suit the need of the people, but I doubt you'd find (sane) people volunteering to kill fetuses.

@bozza03 Everyone has the right to live.

@celicayoudyyy . I appreciate the sarcasm. However if you think one political system rather than another is all we have for a better future - you might as well put on a big red nose and join the circus. Religion should stay the fuck out of politics to begin with. And political debate should be seen as something entertaining and laughable rather than something serious.

@MarilynFilth Yes and your response is very revealing in its intolerance and bigotry of the opposite order of things. How ironic that those like yourself who are so strident in opposing the viewpoint of Christians like Jim Wallace are so frequently characterised by this sort of mindless ranting and intolerance. Truly, may God help us!

[celicayoudyyy]

@kharnvelzyghur Well what a marvelous thoughtful contribution to this debate! With responses of this calibre we can rest assured that the future of our country is in good hands! Lol

[kharnvelzyghur]

Just to keep everyone happy. The government should ALLOW SAME-SEX MARRIAGE, but BAN SAME-SEX DIVORCE. Now everyone shut the fuck up.

Jim Wallace is nothing more than a delusional christian extremist and people should be very afraid of his homphobic and anti-semitic views...A little square moustache under the nose of the wannabe dictator and megalomaniac would suit him just fine....
