New meaning for the girl next door?
The Tasmanian Government wants to legalise prostitution and allow brothels
to be built anywhere/everywhere.
Even next door to schools and churches.
They're claiming that if they allow local councils to decide where brothels
can operate, the councils would keep them away from family areas and this would create a dangerous "redlight district".
This is beyond silly.
It's the brothels that create redlight districts, not the areas without brothels!

Praising Vera? That’s right, a new movie about an abortionist is receiving glowing recommendations from some Christian sources.
What’s going on here?
I haven’t seen Vera
Drake, the new film about an abortionist from talented English director Mike Leigh.
Wait a minute before you click “BACK” in disgust at my ignorance. The tentative release date for Australia is Feb 24.
What’s more, I don’t pretend to be able to critique the film.
I intend to critique the way some Christian writers are receiving it.
The Un-Movie
There’s a funny thing about movies.
Movies only work when there is conflict - and conflict works best with contradiction and contrast and questions.
Let’s try a little game. read more...

Just before Christmas in 2001, the reality of abortion broke into my heart.
I went to Tasmania’s Parliament House to
pray while a Bill to change the abortion law was debated. I sat in the gallery, listened to the politicians, and prayed. I
was there for hours. I witnessed parts of both the pro-choice and the pro-life protests outside.
When I think of that day, it still chills me. It was a
summer day, warm and bright. The pro-life protest was a small line of people just outside the door of Parliament House. They
stood silently, some holding placards of slogans or fetuses. The pro-choice protest was held later on the lawn of the Parliament
House gardens. Speakers stood on the broad stone steps. Behind them were the historic sandstone parliament house buildings.
In front were the ancient oaks and Hobart’s famous waterfront. Many professional looking and smartly dressed women stood on
the smooth grass. They cheered together for speakers who said abortion was just a women’s health issue, entirely up to a woman
and her doctor, needed to prevent backyard jobs, something that politicians should not have any role in. “Who has any right
to tell a woman what to do?” Read more...

So...why does 100KY have an email list and why should I be on it?
Sometimes we've felt like Elijah. (I Kings 19) You know the feeling. Wondering where the other 99,999 are.
100,000 is alot of people. There are things happening in Australia that 100,000 people can change.
Just by sending an email.
We can let you know when things come up that can be changed that way. They don't come up every day.
You can let the other 99,999 know if you come across something first.
