New South Wales parliamentarians can’t unite on important issues of cost of living, infrastructure or education, but yet there is bipartisan support to “cancel” a mother-of-five expressing a pro-life view.

Despite the disappointing outcome of the abortion bill, there were still some powerful, pro-life speeches that are worth reading because they are like an oasis in the desert of the culture of death, writes Monica Doumit

A report tabled in NSW Parliament last week found that between 1990-2015, half of Australia’s birthing services closed, that many more are on the brink of closure, and that the problem is particularly profound in rural and regional NSW. But when Labor and Greens MPs stood up in parliament last week to talk about ensuring access to “reproductive health care” in the regions, they were only talking about abortion. To paraphrase Orwell, some reproductive health care is more equal than others.

Debate on the Greens bill to broaden New South Wales' already extreme abortion laws began in NSW Parliament on 26 March.

Robert P George, McCormick professor of jurisprudence and director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton University, recently spoke with OSV News' Charlie Camosy about how St John Paul II's encyclical Evangelium Vitae, released 30 years ago, provided a pro-life vision that remains relevant today.

Cardinal Mykola Bychok told thousands gathered for the Day of the Unborn Child that the Jubilee Year of Hope is a time “to proclaim boldly that every life is precious, and that God's mercy is greater than any darkness we face.”

Thousands gathered outside NSW Parliament House on Wednesday evening to protest against an extreme bill that would – among other things – allow the NSW Health Minister to force Catholic hospitals to provide abortions and remove conscientious objection rights from health care practitioners.
