"Earlier this week, Queensland Nationals MP Llew O’Brien introduced a so-called
“born alive” bill into the House of Representatives.
On the same day, August 17, the Australian Christian Lobby held an event on
Parliament House lawns. Against a backdrop of 10,000 knitted baby booties
arranged into a cross, Australia’s most prominent federal anti-abortion
politicians spoke in support of the bill.
Born alive bills originated in the United States in the early 2000s and the
issue has been raised in most Australian decriminalisation debates since
Victoria in 2008. O’Brien’s resurrection of this topic reveals much about the
ambitions of contemporary Australian opponents of abortion."
