Queensland citizens draws to the attention of the House that decriminalising abortion will allow an increase in the number of unborn children killed for unacceptable reasons.The current laws protect the family – mother, father, grand-parents – as well as the unborn child.The majority of the public regard unborn children as human beings who have the right to be protected.

 

Your petitioners, therefore request the House to maintain the abortion laws as they presently stand.
