SENATORS were given a conscience vote on whether they or the Therapeutic Goods Administration should be responsible for deciding whether to allow the abortion drug RU486 into Australia.
But like Pontius Pilate, more than half of them washed their hands of the responsibility.
Those who were prepared to stand up for the lives of the unborn were accused of either letting their religious beliefs get in the way of their politics or not caring about the rights of women.
Such attacks show that those politicians who voted to pass on the decision to stop the abortion drug entering Australia are not prepared to stand up for the most basic of human rights, the right to life.
Like Christ, possibly millions of unborn babies have been possibly sentenced to death by them.
These politicians will have the blood on their hands.
