British journalist Piers Morgan is sounding the alarm that US President Joe Biden’s transgender 'equality' order will destroy women’s sports.

In the DailyMail, Morgan wrote:

The majority of trans women born to male biological bodies who've gone through puberty are self-evidently going to be bigger, stronger, faster and more powerful than women born to female biological bodies.

Again, this is not me being 'transphobic', it's me stating an obvious fact.

That's why we have gender-specific competition in almost every sport and events like the Olympics.

President Biden made an executive order in January supporting transgender “women” competing against real women in sports.  Now President Biden’s “Equality Act,” which if enacted would write transgenderism into federal civil rights law, has passed the lower house of the US congress. Should the law pass the senate, transgender ideology will be protected with the force of the law.

Morgan says that if President Biden’s endorsement of the right of trans “women” to compete in women's sport becomes the accepted norm, then women's sport will be destroyed.

Morgan goes on to say that:

What can possibly be 'equal' about a system that allows mediocre athletes in men's sport to switch genders, without any requirement for surgery to change sex, and instantly become world-beating athletes in women's sport - as we've been seeing more and more in things like sprinting, weight-lifting and cycling?

How does that do anything but create a new inequality and discrimination against women born to female biological bodies?

How does it not damage women's rights as it seeks to promote trans women's rights?

Yet that is what Joe Biden wants to let happen.

Yesterday, his administration announced it was rescinding support given under the Trump administration for a lawsuit aimed at preventing transgender athletes from competing in girls' high school sports.

It was filed by three young female athletes who believe their ability to compete has been unfairly damaged by trans women competing against them.

One of them, Alanna Smith, said: 'People should realize that a lot of biological females have missed out on making it to meets that really matter like states and regionals and the transgender athletes have taken spots on the podium that belong to biological females. We train for so many days a week, so many hours to be the best in our state and the best in our region and these biological males are just taking it away from us and we really deserve it.'

Morgan states that very few people in authority seem prepared to speak out against trans “women” competing against real women for fear they will be the next target for the trans lobby cancel culture chopping block.

FamilyVoice has a long history of speaking out against transgender ideology.

The alarming rate of ‘born alive’ babies under abortion is a concern for all future Mums and Dads and Grandparents,” said Greg Bondar, national spokesman for FamilyVoice Australia.

Data shows that as many as 12 per cent of babies are born alive during late-term abortions in Victoria.

“These babies are left to die, rather than being provided with any life-saving medical care,” said Greg Bondar.

Mr George Christensen MP is seeking to introduce The Human Rights (Children Born Alive Protection) Act 2021 to Parliament which would require medical practitioners to offer these children the same care that would be afforded any other baby.

“Mr Christensen’s research highlights the reality of ‘live deaths under abortion’ which must be addressed in the name of human rights and protection of the child. There is always societal outcry over child abuse, paedophilia, psychological or emotional abuse of children, yet the deaths of those ‘born alive’ goes unaddressed.

Factually, the publication Victoria’s Mothers, Babies and Children Report, highlights a total of 1626 late term (20 weeks or later) abortions in Victoria, resulted in 198 live births, between 2012 and 2016. (Approximately 12%) and in Queensland, an ABC report stated there were 204 terminations with live birth outcomes between 2005 and 2015.

“The reality is that Tasmania, Northern Territory, NSW and the ACT do not publish abortion statistics which would further highlight the tragedy of “born alive” deaths. We as Australians are in breach of our international obligations such as The Convention on the Rights of The Child and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights,” added Mr Bondar.

Mr Bondar is asking all Mums and Dads and Grandparents ‘to be’ to consider the painful question: ‘what happens to a child born alive during a late term abortion?’ The uncomfortable and soul-destroying truth is that the child is ‘left to die’.

Is this the society we Australians want to live in? MP George Christensen will be the FamilyVoice guest webinar speaker on Monday, 8 March.

Speaking exclusively to FamilyVoice Australia, former senator Bob Day has explained the resolve of his Australian Family Party to unseat key Liberal MPs at next year’s state election, owing to their voting on abortion last week in the South Australian Parliament.

His party will especially target Paula Luethen (MP for King - in the Golden Grove region) and Richard Harvey (MP for Newland - in the Tea Tree Gully area). Both hold their seats for the Liberals on small margins.

Although Dr Harvey voted against the abortion bill at the third reading stage, he and Ms Luethen rejected the key amendment moved by Hon David Speirs, designed to prevent late term abortions for mental health reasons. Ms Luethen voted for the bill at the third reading.

“Our assessment of each member’s position on the bill relates to their voting on the crucial Speirs amendment on 17th February,” Bob Day told FamilyVoice after the abortion debate.

“We had personally contacted first term MPs Richard Harvey in the Seat of Newland, and Paula Luethen in the Seat of King, but they chose to ignore our pleas,” he said.

“During the debate, particularly on the ‘abortion-to-birth’ provisions, the Australian Family Party stated publicly it would direct its preferences at the next State election against any sitting member who voted for ‘abortion-to-birth’,” Mr Day said.

Referring to his party as “basically Family First version 2.0,” Mr Day said Family First achieved 8 - 9 per cent of first preference votes in Newland and King. He noted the MPs representing those seats obtained electoral margins of less than 2 per cent.

Led by Deputy Premier Vickie Chapman, the SA Liberals introduced the Termination of Pregnancy Bill (2020) that gained approval from lower house MPs last week.

“It is clear from the Liberal position on abortion, and its proposals to undermine faith-based organisations running schools, hospitals and other services, that some State MPs need to be replaced.”

 How SA MPs voted on the abortion bill

It’s rarely reported in the mainstream media, but you read it here: Australia’s pro-life movement is growing.

Back in September 2019, 10,000 pro-lifers rallied in Sydney’s Hyde Park.

And two weeks ago, on 6 February 2021, 5000 pro-lifers rallied in front of the Adelaide Oval.

But whereas Sydney’s population is close to 5 million, Adelaide has just 1.3 million. Adelaide’s 2021 pro-life crowd, per million, was nearly twice as big as Sydney’s in 2019.

Australia’s pro-life movement is indeed growing.

Sadly, it was not enough in 2019 to persuade NSW MPs to defeat their abortion-to-birth bill, but pro-lifers were able to achieve some worthwhile amendments.

It was the same in the SA parliament last week. Abortion-to-birth has been decriminalised, but with tighter restrictions than the original bill. There is a ban on sex-selection abortions and a requirement for counselling as well as information on abortion risks and alternatives such as adoption. Babies born alive after an abortion will now be given the same care as other babies after birth.

So there has been some progress. If these changes are enacted, we will hopefully see more SA babies saved from abortion and available for adoption by some of the loving couples on the long waiting list.

Andrea and Neil Loughhead told the huge crowd at the Adelaide Walk for Life about their adoption “miracle”. A medical episode when she was a child meant Andrea was unable to bear children. After passing the thorough vetting process for adoptive couples, they waited – and waited.

Finally, after about seven years, they were offered a baby girl – one of only two babies available for adoption in SA that year. It was indeed a miracle – some years, no baby has been released.

We are praying that this situation will change, along with Australia’s anti-life culture. FamilyVoice Victoria Director Peter Stevens gives thanks for the growing number of supporters who are now placing small “365 Life” cards in buses, parks, cafés and supermarkets where passers-by can see their simple pro-life message.

We pray that all Australians will come to know the truth of Psalm 139:13 – that every child in the womb is God’s precious creation, deserving our love and protection:

And a final thought. Our current culture is not only anti-life, it is anti-faith. Our freedom to speak God’s truth is under attack as never before, especially in Victoria where the new ban on “change or suppression practices” even includes requested prayer.
