The Rev Hon Fred Nile MLC, Leader of the Christian Democratic Party, is co-ordinating a petition to ask the NSW parliament not to decriminalise abortion. The petition can be downloaded and printed here.

In part it reads:

"Your petitioners call upon your Honourable House to uphold the sanctity of human life and to defend the fundamental right of children to be born, by rejecting any and all attempts by advocates of abortion to initiate in New South Wales legislation emulating the Victorian Abortion Law Reform Act 2008, and your petitioners call upon your Honourable House to seek ways and means of promoting to the people of New South Wales the truth that each baby is a wonderful gift from God, deserving protection and nurturing from conception.

Please print it out, collect signatures and send to Christian Democratic Party (Fred Nile Group, 9 Exeter Road, Homebush West NSW 2140).

Please also let your local MP and media know how many signatures you collect.

MP Liz Cunningham has organised an e-petition to oppose the decriminalisation of abortion in Queensland.

This e-petition is aimed at countering a petition by Evan Moorhead MP supporting the decriminalisation of abortion.

Many more signatures are required - currently there are only 5,349.

Please sign the e-petition - posted on the Queensland Parliament website by clicking here and pass the link on to your fellow Queensland pro-life contacts.

International Call for the Rights and Dignity of the Human Person and the Family
502,879 Total Signatures as at 9 October 2009 

Help C-FAM gather 1,000,000 signatures.
     
In the months leading up to the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the foundational international human rights document, C-FAM discovered that international abortion advocate and provider, Marie Stopes International, was planning on presenting a petition to the UN community calling for Global Safe Abortion and asking states to interpret the UDHR to include abortion as a human right.

C-FAM and allied organizations recognized the need to counter the Marie Stopes International initiative and launched the UN Petition for the Unborn Child and the Family in September 2008 with the aim of presenting the UN with the signatures on December 10, 2008.

The C-FAM campaign started with the hope of garnering 50,000 signatures. By December 10, we had gathered over 400,000.  C-FAM presented the petition to ambassadors from various states and to the UN community in a press conference at UN headquarters on December 10. 

Heartened by the strong response from supporters and the positive feedback from the UN ambassadors that we met with, C-FAM decided to continue the campaign with the goal of presenting 1,000,000 signatures at the next session of the General Assembly.
