Having recently attended the 'March for the Babies' in Melbourne, and being aware that many have been emailing Premier Ted Baillieu about the current (horrendous) abortion legislation in Victoria, I was frustrated to read on the front page of the Sunday Herald Sun that Ted Baillieu is set to "Unleash tough new laws to protect pets".
While I support the Baillieu Government's move to protect animals from cruelty, I cannot understand Mr Baillieu's total disregard for our unborn babies - for babies aborted, who would be viable outside the womb and for babies surviving late term abortions (Vic Health Dept Report, 2008), who are left to die.
Please email the Sunday Herald Sun and Premier Ted Baillieu and express your disgust that the protection being afforded to puppies and cats is not extended to the babies of Victoria: shsletters@sundayheraldsun.com.au and ted.baillieu@parliament.vic.gov.au
You may also send a text to 1993 3222 (Sunday Herald Sun) - Please remember to keep your emails and text short, original and to the point.
