Former prime minister Tony Abbott has told an anti-abortion rally in Sydney that the proposed bill to decriminalise abortion is"effectively infanticide on demand".The rally was held to oppose abortion decriminalisation laws which passed the lower house last monthThe bill is is due back before the NSW Upper House this week
Thousands joined the rally to oppose the bill which is due back before the NSW Upper House this week for amendments to be debated. Among them was former federal Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce, who has repeatedly weighed into the debate over the contentious bill.allowing the private member's bill to come before the parliament"The first serious legislation that the new Government puts into this parliament, is for the most radical abortion laws in this country," he said.
He claimed the bill was based on"a lie" because"whether we like it or not abortion has been decriminalised in this state for up to sixty years." He described it"as a licence for sex-selection abortions, and late-term abortions" and said it was"effectively infanticide on demand".
And he would be correct
Where is the time machine? send Abbott and those living in the past back there, let the rest of progress without these mysoginist views keepreligionoutofpolitics awomansrightyochoose
Separation of church and state
Why’s he talking?
We all know abbot is a fool
Infant talking
HonTonyAbbott prefers infanticide via LNP engineered poverty.
Tony who?
TonyAbbott grumpy old men do not control our bodies and they have no place in this debate
Can we just stop publicising him?
Who gives a sh!t about Abbott?
Borked, faded, last-century publically funded news organisation repeats 'any old bullshit for clicks'.
Like we care what yesterday's man thinks.
Why is this old has been drama queen even getting oxygen?
Tony, I hope you discussed this with your paedophile mate. Having Pell as your friend just goes to show your character.
Can't retwt this shite from a has been AbbRott auspol
Who gives a shit what he thinks. When you have a vagina someone might listen to you.
More proof that Australians are not being educated on their oi wn bodies. Stupid people always think they should have a bigger voice than people familiar with reality.
In all honesty, HonTonyAbbott can eat shit.
Surely Mr Abbott means 'fetacide' to indicate the unborn instead of 'infanticide' which refers to one who is already been born.
Deport the cnt....
Maybe somebody could explain to Abbott and Joyce what the term actually relates to.
He is right
Tony needs to keep his dick in his pants and encourage all men to do so ....that way there will never be abortions.
Yeah. And tell me again why he lost his seat
If people gave two fvcks for what Abbott thought he would still be an MP
Why are you giving this has been old drama queen oxygen?
So the wall punching misogynist and failed politician is accusing Australian women of being murderers? I see a class action in this drunkards future. slanderous misogynist irrelevant wheresMargie
and.......he's correct!
Strange how every other state has decriminalized abortion, but when NSW plays catch-up these moths come out of hiding. ProLife ProChoice OurChoice
Never forget, Abbott when Health Minister banned the drug RU486 to deny women non medical abortions. The man is a misogynist and paternalistic. Go back to the 50’s.
Tony Abbott and every other male should stay out of decisions they know nothing about. This is a womens issue.
Gotta laugh or cry this lot , TonyAbbott , The most divisive useless Aust Politician ever , A Church that has been belted a R.C. into Child ABUSE , & another Religious National Nutbag who was apparently head of 2 family s , whatever you call that . Praise the LORD , Not
Shame his mother didn't avail herself of the opportunity
I see many Catholics protesting the abortion bill. Those same Catholics are pretty quiet about their Church protecting and even supporting child rapists. The Catholic Church should just be quiet and sit down. They have no credibility
Let be honest. Pro lifers are not pro life they are pro fetus. Once that fetus is born and becomes a human they no longer care. They are same people that oppose birth control and sex Ed. The very thing that would prevent abortions in the first place. Also the church should stfu
Tony Abbott is no longer a member of parliament and represents no-one except himself. Stop reporting his self indulgent nonsense ABC.
When will the ABC and others stop giving the vile human being airtime. No longer our PM his true colours including his hatred for women and his desire to control them are shining through. Misogyny womansrighttochoose
Tony Abbott is suggesting women who had an abortion funded through Medicare under his government should be charged with a criminal offence and sent to jail. Seriously.
What a shame tonyabbott didn't show the same moral outrage at the pedo Pell trial instead of defending him. Defo double standards.
Giving media coverage to this objectionable creature is criminal. Shame ABC
Dude talks too much. If he stopped at just 'effectively infanticide' I would not be distracted by 'on demand' which makes me think of scheduled tv vs on demand streaming and then.. how scheduled vs on demand infanticide would operate. Like just stop talking man.
I do think you should have a say unless you have/had a womb!
'FKEBBJBSUUFBUKWHILISDKFSJKGWGUWRGGFGFKSGFKSJGDJKDGKWFGKFGJSKGFKSGFSKGF', as quoted 1 sunday by PM ScoMo, unlike the science of a human induced extinction event this is not open to interpretation
Tragically, Abbot failed as PM but is spot on here. Abortion is nothing but murder in the womb. It reveals the hate in humanity.
Where is the balance in this report?
WE DON’T CARE WHAT TONY OR BEETROOTER SAY. MY BODY, MY SAY
WHY?
No one needs to see that face or hear his opinion on anything.
Is Abbott saying here that the unborn child has human rights?
He’s a misogynist.
Is it more than a little hypocritical that climate change deniers whose inaction pushed us closer to mass extinction are tossing around the word infanticide?
And you *have* fact checked this claim....And shown it to a lie, correct ABC?
He isn’t wrong.
Don't like abortions? Don't get one. Still trying to deny others the choice? Never complain about anyone trying to make changes to your life ever again.
Mr Shit Happens genuinely cares about all human lives.........pre birth that is.
If one of Tony Abbott’s daughters was unfortunately left pregnant after rape, I wonder how he would feel about abortion then?
Killling babies isn’t progressive or tolerant.. it’s just homicidal
This twerp IS the infant.
wgaf? No, really, who?
Here we go. A MAN who was not voted back into parliament spruiking for a Gilead-like totalitarian society that treats women as property of the state. These people won’t rest until all women are handmaidens. They are obsessed with control.
This is not news
Again HonTonyAbbott is right.
Why does the media continue to give publicity to this nobody?
'Keep your rosaries out of my ovaries....' Senator Sarah-Hanson-Young
If he's against abortion he shouldn't have one. But what women do with their bodies has fuck all to do with him or anyone else for that matter.
Yes because women love to kill their infants - what an absolute idiotic comment. Abortion isnt an infant it is a foetus - not able to sustain life outside the womb.
Totally agree with him on that !😡
Some things just shouldn't be retweeted any more than this ignorant bludger should be repeated. Ghost him.
Abbott is bull shit artist, what he did as PM, like Mr Rudd warned Australian people: ✂️✂️✂️✂️✂️ and so called stop the boats 🚣♀️ paying people smugglers millions to take boat 🚣♀️ people back, so he was people smuggler, no regards if those people will drown.
So what? We don’t care what he says. That’s why we got rid of him.
Well, he would, wouldn't he?
Thanks Tony , it’s great to see we stand against wrong doing , I support from my heart, And I stand strong with you in this regard
I wonder.. what if a man doesnt want to have a child yet the mother decides to have it anyways... should he still have to pay child support? Serious answers only pls.
People will now be able to murder baby girls because they want baby boys. How progressive...
There are two sides to this debate, pro life and pro death.
He’s never let truth get in the way of his own biases and sense of importance.
All the weirdly-named pro lifers need to stay out of other people’s sex lives. Let women decide what is essential for their own welfare.
Plastic doll Brainwashing
I wish abortions were legal when his mother was pregnant with him. Unfortunately they still aren’t.
And his legacy on climate is mass murder by neglect.
According to Save The Children 18,000 a day die from starvation. I suggest we feed them before bringing unwanted children into the world.
Does Tony Abbott have some kind of public position of authority that means we should listen to him?
Mmm, doesn't a child need to be born to be an 'infant'?
Oh my....the two most irrelevant people on earth, Tony Abbott and Barnaby Joyce...the wowser & the adulterer....totally the type of people I’d want to take advice from on this topic 🙄
Bugger off Tony
Total misuse of language but no surprises there coming from that that dickwad.
Tony Abbott; irrelevance personified.
Brilliant yet again from a courageous man who hammers the leftists.
Seriously ABC! What is your fascination with this freaking dinosaur? The majority of Australians can't stand the P.O.S. (I know of one ex Liberal cabinet minister who refers to him only as 'That F**kwit') STOP👏GIVING👏HIM👏OXYGEN👏
Hey Tony: the only uterus you get to have any say over is your own. So, seeing as you don't have one, then how about you just shut-up. BTW: that wasn't a request. 😡
Yeah but this is a MAN who bit into a raw onion and called Canada 'Canadia', so I don't think his opinion is really valid. Go away.
F&k off tony.. We didn’t vote for your opinions at the election. We certainly don’t want them now
He’s correct. It’s murder. Murder. Murder. Murder.
Typical religious bigotry of male bully with a failing political life hell bent on saving the souls of other in the name of the father the son and The holly Ghost,bardoombar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Totally agree! The leftists claims their loves on animals but chose to ignore the infanticide laws, what a joke!
andrewrdn463 Such a sensetive subject.Would have thought by now would be dealt with case by case. You can not have a blanket law.
This is a useless piece of 'news'. Lift your game ABC. The man is irrelevant and sprouts crap.
Totally agree.
Legal abortion mostly means an amnesty for irresponsible mothers who try to kill the by-product of their sexual pleasure. When a woman allowed her body to a man, she consented this baby to happen in her body and she has no right to kill the baby except a few excepts.
Failed former PM who is ruled by religion. Not your body not your right. Stop giving him air / print time
Tony Abbott has always hated women, now he doesn't believe in medical professionals being able to make sound decisions. What's new? There is a reason he is no longer in parliament... auspol
Yet again we see another murderous accusation by a white well-to-do misogynistic male who is biologically incapable of understanding the torment associated with a woman's choice. Your body. Your decision. No Tony Abbott or equivalent clone has any right to it.
He's such a prima donna
'Tiresome Misogynist Wowser No-One Cares About Shouts Words And Changes Nothing'
So good he’s not a representative of Australia anymore! he didn’t get re-elected he’s out of touch so why even bother with the numpty HonTonyAbbott
Meanwhile back in 1930's women dying of butchers... unsanitary conditions / men absolved . To say 'Infanticide' is scewing Abbott/Joyce misinformation & not about womens health issue, but control. If you dont help these women you kill two.
StandForLife
It’s murder😡
TenezLeDroit Certainly a lot of hatred out there
😂😂😂
i hoped he'd go away
Becoming less and less relevant.
Why are you reporting what this has been is saying? No one cares
Gotta keep em alive until they’re born but after that the LNP will find a way to kill them. Especially if they came here on a boat.
Tony no body
Any form of abortion is murder. Legalising it doesn’t make it right.
How damaging has Tony Abbott been to Australia's national discourse? Even if you are against abortion, that's just a flat out lie. The man is as vile as he is stupid.
We don't need to hear this dinosaur's opinion anymore.
Agree with Tony Abbott.
A woman's body is hers....to choose what, how and when. Abbott has no right to apply his opinion in this domain.
It is.
If ordinary people had as much gusto as a white conservative desperately railing against the obsolescence of his antiquated views, the world would be a much happier and more tolerant place.
Tony Abbott doesn’t have a vagina so shouldn’t be commenting
If a polis lips are moving , then he’s lying . So if says doesn’t like abortion , usually pushing the opposite . My opinion only .
As for abortion , when humans know it’s legal , it usually means they then don’t need it . Let’s hope that’s how it pans out & that abortion is not used as a contraceptive . Fingers crossed .
Tonywho 🤷♂️
Abortion, the ultimate expression of hypergamy. Know their true natures men, know why they hiss and screech with such fury.
Politicians do something you may not be aware of ; it’s called controlled opposition . It’s where some will disagree with other polis to give impression of choice , or to push the opposite of what you think they want .
But Tony Abbot is a fool
Fake opposition . That’s what they do . It’s called controlled opposition . Legal abortion has possibly been brought in as a form of genocide , but is there accidental merit in it ?
HearGene I agree with HonTonyAbbott
Was he not voted out
He is an absolute disgrace
Who cares what tones thinks.
He is right, bitches!
There go those Christian fundamentalist again telling women what they can and can't do...
'There is no better backdrop to speak up for the welfare of children than in front of this majestic cathedral'🙏
When you get yourself a uterus Tony, you can have an opinion on what I can do with mine. Step out son.
And I call Tony Abbot a dinosaur. Extinct as his views.
So tired of men in politics and in power trying to control women's rights. mybody mydecision AbortionBill
This is ridiculous. The NSW abortion bill simply brings us into line with other states. No need for hysteria or hyperbole. trust doctors and women.
Shut your mouth Abbott, this issue is all about a woman's choice, between her and her doctor. Stop interfering just to get your name in the papers again.
Anti abortion people like tony abbott want to scare people with images of dead murdered babies, they ignore that the abortion bill covers every stage of pregnancy, from not an infant sperm/egg to when it is fully physically developed
It's the same old story ...save them but don't care what happens to them once they're here ....Scabbott closed DV shelters in 2014 and defunded aboriginal legal services at the same time .... he's a pure arsehole !! auspol DV
Tony is a walking advertisement isn’t he?
Unless you’re blessed with a uterus, best stay quiet.
The entire NSWabortion debate could be fixed so easily
That is bullshit he says, Infanticide is the intentional killing of infants. An embryo is not an infant, A fetus/foetus is not an infant.
Who is Abbott? Last I heard he was a guy who supported a convicted paedophile...
Abbott and Joyce are spreading their seeds indiscriminately. How dare these serial philanderers preach. My body my choice.
What a lunatic
Women would rarely be in this situation if men always cared for their offspring from conception to adulthood. So Bye bye Abbott and bye bye Joyce.
Hey Tony shhhhhhh
Who cares what TA thinks.
Of course Abbott’s answer to unwanted pregnancies is to just skip the country, eh Tony!
Go back to the oblivion into which you were sent by your constituents Tony
This man ate a raw onion.
What a creep
What is it about middle aged white right wing male christians and their obsession with women’s reproductive organs? It is creepy and none of their business.
DO NOT REPORT WHAT HE DOES OR THINKS. WHO THE F&CK CARES ABOUT THE OLD NAZI
Some people just don’t know that they their opinions aren’t wanted
Why do we hear what this chap has to say. He is yesterday’s fish and chip wrapping
Tony who?
Here is a man who professes public service and yet at every opportunity has lied to further his ideology. Five other states have had decriminalised abortion for decades and I don't remember seeing headlines of rampant infanticide - because it is a fantasy. UnderHisEye
And he is....who? Why publicise his views?
It speaks volumes when a bloke who defends the rights of babies lives and volunteers as a bush firefighter is shit on by the media and a large sector of the population, you are pathetic.
Shut up Abbott. Coal is infanticide on demand. Stick that in your budgie smugglers and rotate. Half wit.
im not doing his advertising
Abortion is murder!
Stop feeding this has been oxygen!
Obviously Tony Abbott rejects the biblical prescription re: abortions as per exodus 21:22
He's not wrong.
DrJenGunter has been answering all sorts of misinformation on abortion from those of similar ignorant and biased views in the USA. Follow her for truth - She’s the EXPERT!!!
Go away Tony
Tony never heard that crap he's espousing debunked. Talk about siloed.
Tony Abbott is an inept Machiavellian villain.
Nobody gives a flying f*** what HonTonyAbbott thinks!
Funny that paedophiles are preaching against abortions auspol
funny how Mr Abbott is so vocal against abortion but has never, never said a word against his friend, George Pell being a convicted child rapist
Why are we still listening to this numpty?
Who is that turd?
You can’t just tweet shite he says as if it’s news! How about “Extremist forced birther misunderstands medicine and law”.
He would be correct.
I thought the bible spoke of abortion. Just saying.
Exactly.
Picking your nose can cause the potential genocide of humans because every cell is a stem cell there and hence could be turned into an embryonic stem cell. So have a pick at that nose, Tony.
