Requests for greater access to abortion bill in Aus

I've just been reading in The Australian about this story. Check it out under the Health section, news stories for 9th Jan at The Australian.It gets put in the Health section because it is 'simply' an issue of equality in health care and about improving choice for women. At the moment RU-486, commonly called the abortion pill, is only available upon direct request to the federal minister for health. County doctors in Cairns, Queensland and now in Victoria are pushing to be able to prescribe it themselves, in a bid to, "ease pressure on overburdened hospital theatres." Please pray that this move does not go ahead so that it does not become easier to take the lives of unborn children. If you are Australian, you might like to write to the Federal Minister for Health and Aging, the Honourable Tony Abbott MHR with regard to this issue. The email address is Tony.Abbott.MP@aph.gov.au You might also want to contact your local federal member as well. You can find the information at House of Reps - Members. Prayer with action guys!
