- Abortion
This category contains australian sites dealing with abortion, or sites on australian abortion legislation. The terms "pro-life" and "pro-choice" are used for subcategories because that is how each group refers to itself. They are defined as follows:
Pro-Choice: Believing that abortion is a right and should be legal under most or all circumstances. Usually implies a belief that the human fetus has no rights, or greatly abridged ones.
Pro-Life: Believing that abortion is a violation of the rights of the pre-born child. Usually implies a belief that abortion should be illegal under most or all circumstances.
In addition, there are some relatively neutral sites which are not placed in either category.
This site does not discriminate based on an individual's or organization's creed. However, sites directly advocating violence are not listed.
