Ramsay By-Election SA – Save the Unborn
Within the next 2 – 3 weeks Trevor Grace (right) and supporters will be letter boxing around 12,000 pamphlets and DVDs (www.180movie.com) to every household in the South Australian electorate of Ramsay.
Most of the following text is in the pamphlet:
Hello, my name is Trevor Grace. As you would be aware there is a by-election in your area on the 11th February for the seat of Ramsay. For many years this has been held by Labor MPs, in particular by Premier Mike Rann. 
To briefly introduce myself, I am a high school teacher, husband and father. This election I am standing as an Independent candidate for Save the Unborn. Why?
I know many of you in this electorate have voted for Labor in the past. But this is not the same Labor Party your parents or even their parents supported. It is Labor by name only.
I know many of you have also voted for Liberals in the past – but they, likewise, are not the Liberals of old.
A generation or two ago members of parliament based their ideas, on what was right and wrong, largely upon Christian principles, not so much because they were Christians, but because they saw that these produced good fruit. That is, they witnessed again and again, how a society and its people would prosper when Christianity became foundational; more precisely, when Christ became its foundation and God its head.
But sadly, like the Greens Party, the major parties have gradually rejected Christian values and brought in a new set of principles which are, by and large, godless. It is quite often an appeal to a self centeredness in each of us. To “My rights!”, “Your rights!”, “Our rights!
Where has this led to?
Look around. Just below the surface, you will see a brokenness and pain in many areas of our society and homes that runs so deep and wide.
We see large numbers of men walking out on women. Husbands leaving wives; so easily.
We see one in four women – pregnant mothers – killing their unborn baby; so easily.
We see a growing number of children not respecting adults and property; so easily.
We see many politicians celebrating lesbians having a child by IVF – and intentionally making the child fatherless. Such as:
JULIA GILLARD, PRIME MINISTER (at press conference): I’m very pleased for Penny and her partner Sophie.
SARAH HANSON-YOUNG, GREENS SENATOR (at press conference): I think it’s wonderful news.
JAY WEATHERILL, SA LABOR PREMIER (to the press): They’re a lovely couple and I’m sure they’ll make wonderful parents.
And see politicians telling us of their approval for homosexual marriage.
ISOBEL REDMOND SA LIBERAL LEADER (and Premier Weatherill) strong supporter homosexual marriage.
IAN HUNTER SA LABOR MLC delivers stinging attacks on colleagues who don’t accept homosexual marriage.
We see politicians telling us how “progressive” it would be to have prostitution legalised, despite the known exploitation, debauchery and abuse that goes with it.
We see politicians going into a frenzy over the method of slaughter used on Australian cattle in Indonesia, yet approve (or say nothing) of the slaughter of 100,000 unborn babies, every year, on our own shores.
We see paedophiles, and those who kill others, avoiding time in jail because of their high social standing.
And it goes on and on.
But deep in our souls we know there is a better way. One which upholds real justice and the real worth of each and every man, woman and child in our state. A way that restores in time of trouble not destroys. A way that brings life to a situation not death. A way that is found in the roots of Christianity.
Here are just a few of the areas that I will fight for if elected:
Social/Moral
- Yes to promoting marriage between a man and a woman
- No to homosexual/lesbian marriage
- Yes to local and overseas adoption
- No to homosexual/lesbian adoption and foster-parenting
- No to IVF for lesbians
- Yes to palliative care
- No to euthanasia
- No to legalising prostitution
- Yes to removing pornography and semi-pornography from service stations, news agencies, etc
Health
- No to ‘harm minimisation’ drug programs
- Yes to additional Mental Health Services
- Yes to affordable Dental Care
- Yes to increasing the number of doctors and nurses in South Australia
Education
- Yes to quality, age appropriate, sex education program
- Yes to Christian values being taught in schools
- Yes to tougher discipline in schools
- Yes to Youth Allowance for those over the age 16 and studying
Abortion
- Yes to teaching the facts about abortion: the methods of how unborn children are killed, and how abortion affects women, men and society
- Yes to requiring every woman seeking an abortion to view an ultrasound and be informed of the physical, psychological and spiritual consequences
- Yes to setting up abortion alternatives – such adoption services and proper financial and practical support for mothers (fathers) and their babies
Government expenditure
- Yes to better spending of tax payers’ money (eg not on grandiose football stadiums, etc)
- Yes to reduce politicians’ salaries and other expenses
- Yes to increase funding and support for Disability Services; particularly for parents with disabled children
- Yes to real reform and accountability, with appropriate funding for Mental Health Services
- Yes to increasing funding for programs such as Drug Beat
- Yes to stay-at-home parents. They should not be penalised financially for wanting to care for their children
Justice
- Yes to affordable housing
- Yes to sweeping reforms to Australia’s justice system. This includes a national crimes review body (eg for cases such as Henry Keogh, who has been in prison for nearly 17 years with no direct evidence for the murder of Anna-Jane Cheney).
Like the site. Good on ya Trevor!!!! Sticking up for truth!!! What you are doing is great and hope u go well. Might be pretty hard though that rann got almost 60%primary votes in 2010. You’re right in what you say re people vote as part of family tradition believing that Labs are for the workers. Ha! These guys are for themselves and to end us all to the pit with them. Least u saying something and if I was in are I vote for u.
Greens are more than crazy perhaps outrageously dangerous is a better way of saying it. With other parties close behind like Labor is where Greens were 4 years ago, Liberal 2 – 3years further back, so we only get what we deserve. The brainless twits who voted for any of these are to blame. Thumbs up and go well trevor.
Should make for an interesting election but these guys are stuck in with media.
Keep up the good work Trevor Grace
its a wonder and a half to find a person standing up for things that affect us all.
How come no other party or independent has the courage to just come out with it and say same sex marriage is wrong? What about the diseases apart from HIV and AIDs that homosexual men are prone to,ie I read that 33% of homosexuals have a particular parasite in their body.
Your lucky to have free speech mate although n a few years you won’t be able to say these comments but gree with you though.
Trevor Grace should be commended in what he’s doing with bringing this to peoples attention. You get my vote but like another blogger said I’m not in Ramsay.
I’m sure he will be hated but there are those like myself who would back a man or woman who wants to make a stand against immorality. I voted Family First like others but they don’t say anything in the public only to their members and friends and churches. Have some guts FF.
Wow! I didn’t realise how much Liberal, Labor and the Greens had in common.
We’re stuffed.
I can’t believe such stuff! It’s ridiculous. Why have separate parties when they’re all just as bad as each other. Hopefully this information can get around so people can see who they’re really voting for.
My wife and I are having a baby this April, and after seeing the 12 week ultrasound I was horrified to find out that most abortions occur around this time. Our baby was moving around and her heart was beating, she looked just like the 16 week old baby in the photo above. Maybe if medicare stopped funding abortions (most of which cost the government in excess of $4000) people that want to adopt would be able to and the money saved could be spent on medical procedures that help people, rather than causing more mental health problems. Trevor mentioned a few things that could be done with the money including affordable dental care. You’d have my vote if I lived in Ramsay.
Don’t agree with everything you said here but most I do. Euthanasia is quite personal I believe. when you have had a love one die you would know. It is terribel to see them in pain and suffering so it is up to him or her not you or me. We need more money spend on palliative care so people are made confortable in their last days and have good access to care when in a vulnerable physical and emotion state. Everything else what has been said I agree with. Labor and libs are a dead lost long ago and Greens real nutters.
Trevor, we’re right behind your efforts! Thanks for standing!
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT….everything I need regarding abortion in SA (and other states) all in one place!!! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this information and will definitely be looking in and sharing frequently! I am involved in sidewalk counseling out front of the P.A.C. on Belmore Tce. When the school term commences, I aim to be present there twice a week. My heartfelt gratitude for all you and your wife do to safeguard the welfare of women and the unborn. Blessings, Sarah Glapa
PS When I clicked on the Facebook button at the bottom of the page I was informed that ‘the page could not be found’. I’d love to be able to ‘share’ you website etc on Facebook with my many pro-life friends.
Thanks for that, Sarah, we’ll fix this up shortly.
Good on you Trevor. It is very encouraging to finally see someone with the guts to make a stand for what most people truly believe. You don’t let yourself get bullied by the godless ‘political correctness’ of today’s so-called leaders, including those silent wimps in most Australian Churches: those trendy leaders who want numbers rather than revelation! Woe to Wong and the silent lookers-on but more woe to thousands of Christian Church-Worshipping Leaders that KNOW better.
You will always have my vote.
Way to go. I smiled when I saw the banners on homepage. Right on.
A society that does not have Jesus as its God head and foundation is a society destined for disaster.
I pray that we wake up and seek Jesus for forgiveness before we are completely handed over to our sin.
The bible shows us clearly Nations rise and fall very quickly, when they refuse to follow and do the will
of God.
There are so many good loving and financially stable coupels that can’t have kids and want to adopt but can’t because abortion is the only option pregnant mothers are presented with when they can’t care for a child. My wife and I have been through the adoption bureaucracy, what a saga that was! By the time we had passed all the requirements we were informed that we could no longer adopt as we were “too old”. Adoption should be something that is easily acessible to decent people. It’s great to finally see a candidate who want’s to fix this problem.
It is great, Trevor, to see you stand up for moral and Biblical principles – this is the only way for our country to stop going down it’s current path of self-destruction and self-denial. Just how much destruction and depravity do we have to experience before we realise as a nation that we cannot solve our problems in human ways, but rather by the teachings of Jesus Christ?….it is only having a foundation on God’s Word, The Bible, that Australia can get on the path of being wholesome, respectable, safe and prosperous. You are a “voice in the wilderness”.
Fantastic news that Trevor Grace is doing something. Lets hope it encourages more to come out of the woodwork.
Trevor,
Good work. Labor and the Greens are a dead loss. The Libs will soon go the same way. God Bless you in your efforts.
I was gobbedsmack to read here about Isobel Redmond and premier Jay Weatherill being behind bringing in gays having children and being married. This is more than not right. I will let others know this. Penny Wong can never be the parent to this child her partner had. It is absolutely disgusting to prevent this child having a father. Who do they think they are? They truly think they are God to deny this child a right to have a father. Every child has a right to a mother and a father. Penny Wong and Sophie are outrightly selfish and this is saying it kindly.
Our country is in deep creek and this has happened in the past 30-40 years and getting worse. What will Aus be like in another 5 years if these extremist immoral advocates get their way?
Hunter is simply another lost soul and taking others with him.
This is my first time i visit here. I found this discussion quite rare and helpful. Keep up the good work in defending Christian values Trevor.
i actualy disagree with author
May God bless your efforts and those who helped you Trevor for Sat as u all put a lot of work in a short time to get a message out.
Good On you Graces Family…. we will support u..
