Posted by Kevin Bates He is rightly applauded for these comments, but his consistency is to be questioned. The stories of horror that continue to come out of oru Detention Centres here in Australia, beggar the imagination and are every bit as heinous as the abortion figures that Mr Abbott has been so strident about. Applying the same values for life to our refugees, should lead to a balanced and just policy. On the contrary, there is a huge contradiction between his statements on abortion and the policies he supports on refugees. Our moral principles need at least to be consistent to be credible. One can only wonder at the motivation then behind his anti-abortion sentiments.

Federal Health Minister Tony Abbott has been winning brownie points from Church leaders and others recently, for his forthright comments on the evils of abortion and the need to turn around this great wound in our society.
