Introduction:
The abortion rate in Australia is a national tragedy. It is estimated that currently there are over 100,000 babies killed each year. In Queensland that figure is around 15,000. This equates to a rate of around 280 abortions in Australia PER DAY!
It is of further concern to us that not only are we failing to address such an indescribable tragedy, but that the cost to the Australian taxpayer, in terms of claims made against Medicare, last year was $11,496,798.00, and in Queensland the amount claimed was $2,304,898.00 (HIC).
Young women aged 20-24 have more than one abortion for every two live births, according to figures provided by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.
For every five children born alive, two are killed by abortion. It is a sad, but fair comment to make that in our country, the most dangerous place for a baby to be is in his or her mother’s womb!
