Dear Leebella,
Thank you for being so open and honest about what you have been through. It isn't easy to talk about your suffering and I admire you for for doing it with such grace and I'm glad that you have peace now.
This is why there is such a need for places that will provide all the information that women need to make the best choice and that will provide long term counselling and support regardless of which choice is made.

I'm not happy with the Hillsong churh After few days locked away, they had abortion idea planted into his head. I wonder I really don't think Guy is someone who is easily influenced by others. I think he will follow his own beliefs and values and do what he thinks is right accordingly. If, as someone who was virtually no-one in the music industry, he could stand up to BMG and get the songs he wanted on his first album, then I'm sure no church (or political party) is going to be able to plant ideas in his head that are contrary to his own values.

Frogo - I don't think you need to worry about Guy being used or manipulated in this area. Both he and Gary seem to be independent thinkers and have a lot of discernment so I'm sure they won't allow themselves to be used in any way that doesn't fit with their own values and beliefs
As for the counselling centre - women will still have a choice as to whether they take advantage of it or not and it may help balance the different advice they receive.
In NZ women aren't given much advice on the alternatives to abortion or counselling afterwards so options are good.
No doubt I have some bias - both my children are adopted and I'm so thankful their mothers didn't choose abortion but considered the options. Also, they and us organised the adoptions through Catholic Social Services although none of us are Catholics, and I couldn't speak highly enough of them. They are tremendously supportive and still keep in touch with all of us involved. (Birth fathers too!) If what Guy and Gary plan offers support like that I'm sure many people will benefit from it. I don't think they will be preachy at all but just give people the information and support them in their decisions.
Guy is a wonderfully talented musician but he has a social conscience too and I'm not surprised that he wants to do something that he believes will benefit society. It's all part of who he is!

I've voted for this thread to be moved to the General Board and I'm happy to put my name to it.
From my point of view, it's not an attack on any member of this forum or on MJ but just that this section is called Australian Idol/Guy Sebastian and the threads should reflect that.
I know we have a Gary Pinto thread here (and I am a big supporter of him!) but he does have strong connections to Guy. Even so, Jess has started a Yahoo group for him so we don't clog up this section with too much that is O/T.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion and should feel able to post under their own names without personal abuse being directed at them and I would encourage you all to do this instead of using 'guest'.

I've noticed today for the first time there are Invisible Users eg: 11 Members, 7 Guests, 2 Invisible Users. How can this be ? Does anyone know ? Maybe they're the members who have been too successful following the diet tips thread
