Readers are invited by our friends at Canberra Declaration, and Love Australia to cover them in prayer as they conduct an important pro-life campaign associated with the Children Born Alive Bill…
This Australian legislation aims to ensure that every baby born alive after a failed abortion is given medical treatment, including life-saving care.
Unbelievably, right now there is no national law protecting babies born after a failed abortion. They have no legal rights, and in some cases, are simply left to die with no medical care.
The Children Born Alive Bill seeks to implement this desperately needed protection on a national basis for these precious little ones.
The Senate committee (that was formed to look into the bill) recently released its findings. We were incredibly disappointed, but not surprised that it simply endorsed many of the claims made by the pro-abortion industry and failed to properly engage the serious issues brought by the pro-life groups.
You can read a summary of the Senate committee's poor findings in the short Daily Declaration article here.
With your help, this bill will not go away! By having the bill debated in the Senate, it will continue to reveal the national scandal that this country treats live babies, born after a failed abortion, as unworthy of the same human rights and medical care as any other baby.

Watch and pray with this video
Pray: We urge you to pray particularly for these two senators: Simon Birmingham's and Sen. Bridget McKenzie
Pray: for all our senators and parliamentarians. The spiritual battle over those in leadership is real, which is why we are commanded to pray for our leaders (1 Tim 2:1–4).
Pray: for a miracle – that this campaign achieves the goal to get the bill debated and voted on in the Senate!
We must continue to speak up for life as long as it takes victory to be achieved. The march for life is a marathon, not a sprint.
Thank you for your prayers and actions!
