FamilyVoice Australia is urging MPs to reject abortion legislation, after only about 300 people attended a pro-abortion rally outside South Australia’s Parliament House on Saturday 13th February.

“The miserable showing of support for revised abortion legislation is crystal clear,” said FamilyVoice Australia spokesman David d’Lima.

“While around 4,000 pro-life people gathered and marched, regardless of strong rainfall at a rally on 6th February, only 300 pro-abortion advocates were prepared to brave the sunshine a week later,” he said.

“We also understand MPs are almost drowning in correspondence and communications from concerned voters who are upset and angry by moves to give full acceptance of abortion, with no gestational limits.”

FamilyVoice Australia says the poor turnout at Saturday’s pro-abortion rally confirms the findings of a recent phone poll commissioned by Senator Alex Antic, that found most South Australians reject late-term abortion.

“MPs who are chosen by a majority of voters must pay closer attention to their electors - but clearly some MPs are thoroughly out of touch with the people.”
