Unborn babies at risk of abortion and women with unsupported pregnancies now have no voice in the Liberal and National parties.

Those who want to advocate publicly have been gagged after Peter Dutton this week banned MPs and Senators from talking about human rights for unborn babies.

According to leaks from the party room later verified by a Coalition spokesperson, the issue of abortion lost votes at the Queensland election and therefore even advocating care for babies born alive after abortion is now banned.

This is debatable and it is clear that Kamala Harris lost her bid for US President despite making abortion-to-birth her signature women’s policy.

Peter Dutton’s edict means his members are no longer free to advocate for the “born alive” bill which Senators Alex Antic, Matt Canavan and Ralph Babet have been pushing.

Although, there are indications Senator Canavan may partially defy Dutton and push the bill but he has agreed with Dutton that abortion won’t be an issue at the up-coming federal election.

Dutton is either ignorant or is unmoved by the tears of whistleblower midwife Louise Adsett (pictured) who told a Queensland Parliamentary inquiry of multiple cases of late term babies surviving their abortion gasping for breath for hours.

The Coalition believes the Queensland LNP lost votes as Labor ran a scare campaign which conveniently ignored the issue of late term abortion which polling shows is opposed by most Queenslanders.

Instead of seeking to persuade Queenslanders of the brutality of Labor’s abortion-to-birth laws, leader David Crisafulli imposed a clumsy gag on his MPs and candidates.

Crisafulli repeatedly ruled out any changes, even for babies born alive and left to die.

No parliamentarian or party member should be forced to support abortion, particularly late term abortion, but it appears the Coalition is now on a unity ticket with the Greens and Labor.

This is a seismic shift for the Coalition whose conservative members have been proactively recruiting pro-life Christians and conservatives on the promise they could make headway within the party for the pro-life cause.

The Nine newspapers which broke the story reported a rare party room leak:

“One MP, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Dutton told the joint party room that the issue was largely not a federal one and the debate had been ‘done and dusted’ in the past.

“We will not be changing our position. It cost us votes in Queensland, in metropolitan seats in particular; the reaction from women was visceral,” the MP recalled Dutton saying. “It’s fair to say he laid down the law, there will be no change to abortion laws, and he reminded us that we all need to be disciplined.”

The Australian Financial Review confirmed the leak reporting comments from a “Coalition Spokesman”.

“He made the point that while it was an issue in the state election, it was not something that we could address in the federal parliament, and so attempts by Labor to draw us off in that area should be seen as exactly what they are ... a distraction.”

This last point is of course a lie. It is the federal government that forces even pro-life Australians to fund abortion through their Medicare levies and it regulates the human pesticide RU 486, now the most common chemical for killing unborn babies.

(Five percent of women who take the abortion drug suffer complications, some of which are life-threatening).

It’s unspeakably sad that the Coalition views the killing of unborn babies and the coercion of women by men to do so as a “distraction”.

The issue flared after a journalist asked Northern Territory Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price for her views on abortion.

“Late term is anywhere past the [first] trimester as far as I’m concerned … Full-term becomes infanticide and I cannot agree with that,” she said.

For this truth bomb Nampijinpa Price was slapped down by Deputy Liberal Leader Susan Ley.

The abortion extremists in the Albanese Government have seized on Dutton’s edict with “Women’s Minister” Katy Gallagher calling on pro-life Senators Matt Canavan and Alex Antic to drop their Human Rights (Children Born Alive Protection) Bill 2022 which would require medical practitioners to provide treatment to babies born alive as a result of the abortion attempt.

Despite overwhelming medical evidence and firsthand testimony from midwives like Adset that babies are routinely surviving late-term abortions and being left to die, Gallagher wants the “born alive” bill buried.

She says it is “dangerous”. But the only danger is it risks turning public opinion against the grisly abortion industry which Labor, the Greens and now the Coalition are running a protection racket for.

Sadly Antic and Canavan went to ground as the media pursued them for comment in the wake of Dutton’s gag order.

Only Canavan has spoken to say he would not withdraw the born alive bill but would support Dutton’s call for the issue to be left out of the election campaign.
