Free money for new livesOn December 8th 2008, all Australian families who receive Family Tax Benefit A will be given $1000 per child in order to ‘boost the economy’.

Students at Moore College had the idea of challenging Christians to give away half of the ‘free money’ they receive to help care for women who have had an abortion; those who are considering abortion; and also their unborn children. They seek to do this in three specific ways:

  1. To support and grow Anglicare’s Carramar Early Interventions, a safe-house and support program that cares for young pregnant women in adverse circumstances who want to keep their child.
  2. To support Women’s Forum Australia, an independent women’s think tank that conducts research, education and public policy development about a range of issues that affect women. WFA brings together women from diverse backgrounds, and works across the usual political and religious divides, to advocate for life affirming, pro-woman alternatives to abortion which would enhance women’s freedom to have their babies.
  3. To produce a high quality TV style ad campaign showcasing interviews with women who have had abortions and who want to speak out. Distributed via the internet, it will point pregnant women to a website with links to quality pro life counseling services across Australia, and with reliable information on abortion and its alternatives.

It sounds like a great idea. Read all about it at www.freemoneyfornewlives.com.au – and please pass on the link to others.
