Tony Abbott's Hesitation Waltz
Despite Federal Opposition Leader Tony Abbott’s consistent anti-abortion voting record in Parliament, he now appears to be doing a hesitation waltz on the issue, in the mistaken belief that this will somehow help him counter the ridiculous headline- grabbing charge of misogyny levelled at him by the pro-abortion Prime Minister Julia Gillard,” said Margaret Tighe, President of Right to Life Australia.
She said, “Pro-life voters are appalled of his constant use of Bill Clinton’s mantra that abortion “should be safe legal and rare.” Only one thing is for sure, that once abortion is legal the practice of it skyrockets!” “In taking this approach,” said Margaret Tighe, “is he being influenced by his famous female advisor, Peta Credlin, who recently admitted that when applying for the Abbott position, she questioned him on his stance on abortion?”
Mrs Tighe said, “Right to Life Australia has every intention of making abortion an issue at the next Federal Election,” adding, “It is essential that Australians are reminded of the scandalous misuse of taxpayers money to pay for the killing by abortion of more than 100 000 Australian babies in the womb annually.” She emphasized, “Abortion is a denial of the most basic of human rights and is anti- women. As we say,” she said, “abortion means one dead and one wounded.”
