HLPS believes that because every human being is a unique and precious individual, efforts at providing pro-life supports should be encouraged.
Many support services exist to give a voice to the weak and defenceless in our communities, particularly unborn babies, the disabled, frail, and terminally ill.

Pregnancy Supports
HLPS believes the best way to lower Australia’s abortion rate is to provide quality pregnancy support for all mothers, regardless of their situations. We also believe that thoughtful post-abortion care is crucial for those who have experienced the devastation of abortion.
