The aim of "Greenmount Concerned Catholics" is to hopefully establish 'running grass roots fires' among parishes in WA, each autonomous, but to find out what adverse legislation is being planned which will affect us as Catholics/Christians, and to try and prevent it before it becomes legislation.

What is it?
Quoting former Labor NSW Premier Bob Carr: “Charters of rights are full of lofty abstractions and generalization” which mean in practice, that “it is unelected judges, not democratic parliaments who would decide.” These judges would be appointed by the political party in power, not by our democratic parliaments as they are today. Thus it would in effect transfer political power from an elected and accountable parliament, to an unelected and unaccountable judiciary.

Emily's List won't tolerate ANY restrictions on abortion, even on viable full-term babies. Andrew Bolt in the Herald Sun (25.7.07), pointed out that Broad's Bill had been motivated by the controversy surrounding the abortion of Jessica, the 32-weeks gestation baby, wrongly suspected of 'dwarfism'. This is the only case in decades in which abortionists may have had to face charges - in fact they did not, and nor have the abortionists of the other 20,000 abortions performed yearly in Victoria.
“Many people have no idea what “Emily’s List” means, nor are they aware of its pernicious influence, writes Babette Francis.”
In my suburban paper there was a news item advertising a theatrical production, and it was mentioned that funds raised would be donated to Emily’s List”. Some people would in good faith attend the theatre, unaware of what they were supporting.
The key factor in the successful recent passing of the Victorian Abortion Bill, allowing legal abortion up to 24 weeks (6 weeks in utero) is the powerful Emily’s List members.
Emily’s List is a political network formed to increase the number of women Labor parliamentarians willing to support key feminist issues, including abortion. It provides financial, political and personal support to Labor women candidates who agree to support the values of Emily’s List. It is the only network of its kind in Australian politics.
