Thousands to rally tonight against free abortions in Victoria
Tuesday 10 November 2026
Thousands of pro-life protestors are expected to rally on the steps of Victoria’s Parliament House tonight (Tues 10 Nov) at 6 pm to condemn both the Labor and Liberal parties' election commitment to make abortions free in Victoria.
Prominent pro-life advocate Professor Joanna Howe said Victoria already has some of the worst abortion laws in the world, including abortion up to birth, and providing free births was just an incentive to add to Australia’s annual 88,000 abortions.
“A national poll, conducted by McCrindle and commissioned by CitizenGO Australia, shows that most Australians support restrictions on abortion and strengthening protections for unborn children,” Professor Howe said.
“In pregnancies where serious health risks, fetal disability and sexual assault do not apply, 63.6% said abortion should be banned at some stage while only 18.6% said it should not be banned at any stage.” Professor Howe said.
“The tide has turned on abortion and this “Rally for the Babies” will send a clear message to all parties that the destruction of babies in the womb must stop.
“Labor announced that it will fund full-term abortions at the taxpayer’s expense if it wins the Victorian November elections, and within 4 hours, the Liberals matched this promise.
“Not even cancer treatment or heart surgery are covered completely by the government in Australia. Even visiting the GP usually costs Australians a hefty fee.
“Yet, Labor and the Liberals want to make abortion up to birth completely free.
“My group Australia Life as well as Pro-Life Health Professionals Australia, Tradies for Babies, Bird Flip and others will be represented’” Professor Howe said.
Prof Howe said that abortion is legal up to birth in Victoria. Section 5 of the Abortion Law Reform Act 2008 provides that abortion can be approved after 24 weeks with the approval of two doctors. There is no upper gestational limit in Victoria for abortion. It is legal through all 40 weeks of pregnancy.
“This leads to over 15,000 Victorian babies losing their lives to abortion every year.
Labor and the Liberals’ pro-baby murder agenda is out of control and must be stopped.
“We want more support for vulnerable mothers. We cannot save Australia unless we save the babies, Professor Howe concluded.
Tonight’s rally is expected to draw supporters from across Australia.
