Thank Christ!
Although it seems there will be a lot more competition in the lower house to get it through. Senator Andrew Bartlett has noted that of all the emails he has received the "ratio of those against compared to those in favour would be close to 100-1". This is scary and shows the ability that so called 'pro-life' groups have to mobilise and support their causes is much better than those who are pro-choice who seem to cover a more disparate group of the population. He recommends; "If [you] support the Bill and you know others who share your views, I really suggest you urge all of them to get on to the House of Reps members - especially their own - before the debate starts there next week. That great a disparity in the expression of views from your electorate can obviously have an impact on a member who has mixed feelings about which way to vote."
