The women fixated on killing the unborn child

Candy Broad is a member of the Legislative Council of the Parliament of the State of Victoria. She is a member of the Labor Party which has been in government for some years. Both heavy responsibilities that she takes seriously.

She is now on the campaign of her life. Her resolute gritted-teeth performance in interviews is a clear indication of her determination to see her task through and survive the vicious attacks she knows she will be subjected by ignorant, irrational people in her community, most of whom subscribe to one or other pernicious religious superstition.

In her inner being she feels the injustice of the influence of these unenlightened groups who, if real justice prevailed, would be disqualified from having any influence in such a serious matter. But she must be pragmatic and work around this unfortunate obstacle. She will keep her task firmly in mind.

That task is to introduce a private member's bill 'on behalf of the Association for the Legal Right to Abortion, a group of health professionals and lawyers who have been lobbying for the decriminalisation of [abortion] for years.'

On the track record of similar PC campaigns that have been waged tenaciously and ferociously for incremental moves forward, Candy Broad appears to be now in a position to achieve her task.

When victory comes, will she assemble those women who have been just as tenacious in pushing aside all impediment to the killing of the unborn child? Will they assemble of the parapet of Parliament House and raise their glasses to their success in extending the killing fields?
