"It's part of an international movement to put women back in the box," she said.

No, now see, if it were men who were having the abortions, still would think it was murder. Get over yourself. Having breasts does not give you a license to kill.

Dr Sally Cockburn, who tonight will debate Right to Life Australia president Margaret Tighe on 3AW, said: "I'm sick and tired of semantics and rhetoric. Get out of my consulting room and my patient's uterus."

So when Jill shoots her three-year old daughter in the head, we should say, "get out of her living room. It came from her uterus!" Yeah, well, that's how ridiculous you sound to us.

Women's Electoral Lobby spokeswoman Linda Hancock said: "Women from all manner of political, cultural and religious persuasions should be united on this front."

Except that it's predominantly secular, middle-class white women who are "united" on the subject.

Socialite Lillian Frank said: "There are so many circumstances where a woman has to have an abortion. We should not force women to have babies."

No, we should not force women to have sex. I'm all on-board with that.

Fertility Control Clinic psychologist Dr Susie Allanson said: "If we don't have access to abortions we go back to the bad old days of backyard abortions."

You mean when the abortion rate was like 400 % lower than it is now? Yeah.
