Arguments against abortion
by Andrew Lansdown
This article, in three parts, was printed in Salt Shakers journal in February, April and June 2005.
He begins... "Abortion made the headlines repeatedly in 2004. This surprising development was due in large part to Tony Abbott, the Federal Minister for Health. On 16 March, Mr Abbott spoke about abortion in an address to the Adelaide University Democratic Club, concluding that "as a measure of the moral health of our society, 100,000 terminated babies is a statistic that offers no comfort at all" (The Australian, 17/3/04). ..."
These arguments are taken from Andrew Lansdown's pamphlet, "In Defence of the Unborn", which is available from Salt Shakers. Cost: 75 c plus $1 postage.
