Sydney ERUPTED Over This Abortion Bill… | Ep 223

About this episode

The episode covers a significant pro-life rally in Sydney advocating for a bill against sex-selection abortion.

Sydney turned out in the rain and cold for one of the biggest pro-life rallies yet, as Joanna Howe and thousands of supporters gathered outside NSW Parliament to demand protection for unborn baby girls. After the viral “sugar glider” controversy, the movement came back louder than ever, focusing on the fight to pass Australia’s first pro-life bill targeting sex-selection abortion. With speeches from Barnaby Joyce, Susan Carter, John Ruddick, Dr Melissa Lye, church leaders, tradies, young women, and everyday Australians, this protest sent one clear message to politicians: the Nationals must act, and the babies will not be forgotten. 📲 Follow for Updates: 📸 Instagram, TikTok & Facebook: @drjoannahowe 🐦 X/Twitter: @ProfJoannaHowe 🎙️ Podcast available on all platforms: https://thedrjoshow.transistor.fm/ 📩 Join my weekly e-newsletter: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/join 🙏 Help raise awareness of Australia’s extreme abortion laws by donating here: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/donate
