Abortion is an act, whether by medical procedure or induced drug, whereby a developing child is violently removed from their mother's womb causing the child’s death. From the moment of conception a new and unique human being is created.  Choosing to 'terminate a pregnancy' results in the termination of a life and is therefor always an act of injustice: no exceptions.

We stand up for the vulnerable little baby in the womb. Abortions are government funded through Medicare. It is a travesty that Australian taxpayers have to support mass killing and pay for the wealthy incomes of abortionists.

As an organisation we have compassion for the women facing difficult circumstances. Abortion is never in the best interests of the woman. Abortion does not prevent motherhood; it leaves a woman as the mother of a dead baby.

Whole generations have been lied to about this so-called 'choice'. The emotional and sometimes physical consequences can affect women through out their lives. Many women are faced with feelings of regret or guilt and may suffer from post-abortion stress disorder (PASD). At Right to Life Australia we acknowledge the strength and the capability of women. We would like to see a society that encourages women to cope with unexpected pregnancies by making life-affirming decisions: either through adoption or raising the child themselves.

Right to Life provides outreach to women in crisis through Pregnancy Counselling Australia. This hotline runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and is confidential. The female counsellors discuss the callers situation, give information on pregnancy and abortion, offer post-abortion support and refer for practical support including welfare agencies, baby goods and doctors. They also offer face-to-face appointments. Women can call 1300 737 732 to talk to counsellors. If you are interested in becoming trained in pregnancy counselling and working as a volunteer on the crisis line leave a message on (03) 9388 1866.
