Dear Lover of Life,

These past two months have been so busy, settling ourselves into our new home, following up on our 4th anniversary meeting, campaigning to defeat the legalisation of embryonic stem cell research, plus, through these, making contact with wonderful new people who care for God’s Special Little Ones at risk at all stages of life.

The original bill was split into two, and human cloning has been banned. But the bill to legalise the killing of human embryos for their stem cells has been passed by the Lower House. The only hope we have to save Australia from this abomination, is to earnestly beseech God’s Mercy on our nation and its children, and to write to all senators asking them to vote NO to this disastrous piece of legislation.

I have been astounded and frustrated by the ignorance at all levels on this issue. The media has done a great job at brainwashing, and at the same time built up many false hopes for miraculous cures, and a life free of pain and suffering. I suppose when people believe this life is all they have to hope for, it’s not surprising that they are so easily deceived. Our local MP here in Lismore, Ian Causley, refuses to acknowledge the humanity of these little ones, as have so many other politicians.

If you haven’t taken any action yet please do so urgently. The cut-off point is 24th October, when the investigating Senate Committee will report to Senators on their findings, and Senators will vote. I am happy to supply all the information you will need to be able to write – just ask!

Remember to mark your calendars so you can pray and fast for the Helpers of God’s Precious Infants who are on the street outside the abortuary in Tweed Heads each second Friday – 11th October, 8th November, and 13th December. If you can be there – all the better! They are seeking new pray-ers.

Our own meetings for the rest of 2002 are 19 October, 16 November, and 21 December. Please come if you can and if you can’t come bring a friend! Or at least be with us in prayer!

May God hold you in the Palm of His Hand,

Angela

A Timeline and Snippets from:

The Menace of FPA

An Expose of the Family Planning Associations in Australia

This 24-page booklet is well referenced and contains a great deal of useful information. It is written and published by C. O’Loughlin, PO Box 1358, Rozelle NSW 2039

1926 Racial Hygiene Association of NSW founded by Lil Goodisson with Women’s Reform League 1932 At the AGM on 18-7-32 after discussing venereal disease, President Victor Roberts states: There are larger questions, such as clash of colour & the mixing of the races. Our society has interested itself in these matters.

1933 First birth control clinic established in Sydney for the purpose of improving the race by preventing births among “those physically and mentally unfit”. Concern was racial purity and many letters were sent to NSW Health Minister calling for special schools, segregation farm colonies, and compulsory sterilisation of the mentally deficient and mentally ill. AfterWW2 knowledge of horrific Nazi eugenic practices set back the cause of eugenics — for a while.

1956 Eugenics movements decide on taking a more underground approach. Frederick Osborne stated people “won’t accept they are, in general, second rate. We must rely on other motivation — a system of voluntary unconscious selection.” The way to persuade people was to appeal to the idea of the wanted child. He stated boldly: The eugenics goal is most likely to be attained under a name other than eugenics. Genetics counselling was highly recommended and has led to routine killing of embryonic humans at IVF “clinics” in the name of quality control. (1998/9 Annual Report of FPA/Australia lists IVF veterinary scientist, Alan Trounson on its Reproductive Services Committee) Dr. Carlos Blacker, of British Eugenics Society, also Admin Chairman of International Planned Parenthood proposes -“that Society should pursue eugenic ends by less obvious means, that is by a policy of crypto-eugenics, which is apparently proving successful in the US Eugenics Society” adopted.

1960 name changed to Family Planning Association.

1969 became affiliated with International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) - the world’s largest abortion provider.

Early 1970’s Influx of feminists and secular humanists leads to a feminist emphasis and more permissive view of sex, but not to a lessening of the eugenics motivation.

1973 Whitlam government’s first commitment of funds to FPA. Abortionist Malcolm Potts, former head of IPPF states: “As people turn to contraception, there will be a rise, not a fall, in the abortion rate.” He is right - Contraception not only fails to stop but leads to an increase in abortions: In NSW in 60’s we had at most a few hundred abortions — now 40,000 per year.

1974 Whitlam Government starts Medical Benefit Funding of abortion. Medibank and Medicare has since funded over a million abortions.

1976 Australia’s birthrate falls below 2.1

1983 FPA lobbies for l4yr olds to get their own Medicare cards so they could get birth control without their parent’s consent.

1984 ALP adopts pro-abortion platform by endorsing its support for “the particular right of women to choice of fertility control and abortion.” Anti-life mentality engendered by abortion leads to euthanasia in NT, fortunately overturned by Commonwealth Government. Involuntary euthanasia is already practiced in the form of abortion of handicapped unborn children

1991 FPA/WA in forefront of attack on WA Health Minister’s “It’s OK to say No!” campaign.

1992 FPA/NSW brings out “Fantasy and Fact File” diary and “Making Sense of Sex Hotline” funded by Federal Government thus encouraging promiscuity - good for business! Pushes condoms as solution for the problem of Aids, in spite of evidence to the contrary and a 12% failure rate in preventing pregnancy. FPA Schools Program Yr 9 & 10 lists abortion as a pregnancy option, thus equating killing babies with letting them live.

1995 low-dose “Contraceptive” Pill linked to breast cancer. Studies show 200-500% increase in breast and cervical cancers m pill users, under 24’s particularly vulnerable. See www.abortionbreastcancer.com for abortion —breast cancer link.

1996 FPA/Vic sends information kits on Morning after Pill to hundreds of high schools and pushes for it to be sold without prescription.

1997-8 Annual Report FPA/Australia states: “Family Planning has a charter to target members of socially & economically disadvantaged groups, e.g Non-English Speaking Background communities, unemployed young people, indigenous Australians, people with disabilities and their carers, and rural communities. Our targeting of these people is reflected in both the profile of our clinic clients and our education programs as well as where we locate our centers. Why these groups? To provide food, clothing, education or better health? No. To provide explicit sex education, contraceptives, sterilisation, abortion referrals and abortions? Yes - none of which can improve their lot.

1998 FPA/NSW alone received $6,801,291 in government grants.

1999 London Economist 25/9 stressed that humanity faces the threat of a population implosion.

FPA’s strong links with abortion industry:

• FPA activist, Stefania Siedlecky, is the first doctor at Leichhardt Women’s Health Centre providing abortion as a routine part of its health “services”.

• Preterm, first open established abortion clinic in Australia’s Medical Director, Dr. Dorothy Nolan, is also Honorary Medical Officer at FPA 72-73, and on its Medical Advisory Board 75-79. All Preterm initial staff had training and experience with FPA.

• David Grundmann, Brisbane’s notorious “partial birth” abortionist is a life member of FPA/Queensland.

• Two women are known to have died after abortions at Westmead Centre run by three doctors, one of whom is a long time member of FPA/NSW Medical Advisory Board

CONCLUSION

• FPA is at the forefront of the “culture” of death and has a pervasive influence in schools.

• Most of its “services”, especially its promotion of youth promiscuity, abortion and abortifacient drugs/devices, are dangerous to the health of women, children and society, and will lead to the perceived “need” for euthanasia.

• All funding of FPA will further drive down our already devastatingly low birthrate (most recent census showed 1.7)

• Government funding must be stopped.

 Prayer to the Virgin Mother Mary

O Mary, Mother of Jesus and Mother of us all,

We turn to you today as the one who said "Yes" to Life.

"You will conceive and bear a Son," the angel told you.

Despite the surprise and the uncertainty about how this could be, you said yes. "Be it done unto me according to your word."

Mary, we pray today for all mothers who are afraid to be mothers.

We pray for those who feel threatened and overwhelmed by their pregnancy. Intercede for them, that God may give them the grace to say yes

and the courage to go on.

May they have the grace to reject the false solution of abortion.

May they say with you, "Be it done unto me according to your word."

May they experience the love of Christian people,

and know the peace that comes from doing God's will. Amen.     (Priests for Life)

Are you able to help out here?

Dear Angela,

On behalf of St. Elizabeth’s Pregnancy Care, I am replying to your email to Fran.

If at any time your readers have baby clothes that they do not require I would be most grateful for them to use in our layettes. When preparing layette I usually give six of each garment required for Baby - both new and used clothing ranging from 0000 to 0 in sizes. Layette is in neutral colours, and if Baby is a girl, I then offer pink clothing to parents.

My work is very rewarding. To see the look on our client’s face when given the layette is worth every minute that is spent preparing clothing etc. We have people who do beautiful knitting, and our mothers are astounded to think that a complete stranger has given such a beautiful gift for their child. Even the Dads take pride in opening the layette with Mum.

My last layette was given to a young couple, and it was a joy just watching their faces when looking at the clothes. The father was so excited, he lifted the garments and said, “It really makes us recognise that the baby is real and will be so small when it is born.”

Hearing these comments is what makes our work worthwhile. Knowing that we are there to offer help and support - not only for the parents - but saving the lives of our dear little unborn babies.

I wish you every success in your work. May God bless and guide you all. Love, Noreen Fuller St. Elizabeth’s Pregnancy Care, 28 Wallace Street, Macksville 2447

Some big scientists are experimenting with me. They say they want to use me to make sick people better, but I know that’s wrong, because I’m a Child of God too. God loves me just like He loves you. They don’t think I’m a human person, but I’m already complete. I only need food and a nice safe place to develop and grow up like you did.

God already knows my eye colour and whether my hair will be straight or curly, and how my personality will develop. He said “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.” How’s that?!

Those scientists – they don’t know God – but you know God – and you can talk to God for me. Ask Him to change their hearts of stone into hearts of flesh. I want to have a heart of flesh, then maybe I’ll be able to help sick people myself one day!

We are all going to die one day, ( you too!). That doesn’t make it right to kill me.

Only those big senator people down there in Canberra can stop me being killed. So can you please write to them and ask them when it’s all going to stop. Ask them to save me from being used to test cosmetics on, and to see how poisons and drugs work. Now I’m here I want to stay, and pick flowers for my Mum and go to the park with Dad or whatever it is that kids do.

You will make God very happy.

Love from Emm Bryo
