Are you really on the right side of history? In this episode of the Dr Jo Show, we uncover the shocking origins of the abortion industry and its disturbing legacy today. From Margaret Sanger to Marie Stopes, the founders of major abortion organisations had motives rooted in eugenics, racism, and ableism. Their ideology still influences policies today, with 90% of babies diagnosed with Down syndrome in utero being aborted. If you believe in human rights for all, you need to hear this. Watch until the end, subscribe for more hidden truths, and let’s have an honest discussion.

✍️ Sign the open letter to Premier Chris Minns👇
https://www.drjoannahowe.com/minnsmustact

Chris Minns and the NSW government are pushing a radical new plan that could force nurses and midwives to perform chemical abortions. This isn’t just about decriminalisation—it’s about expanding abortion access at all costs, even overriding conscientious objections. The latest five-year review of abortion laws is a pro-abortion stitch-up, lacking critical data and written by those with a vested interest. If we don’t act now, NSW could follow in the footsteps of other states where nurses are turned into abortion providers against their will. Watch now and sign the open letter to stop this dangerous plan! #ProLife #NSWAbortionLaws

✍️ Sign the petition - STOP THIS BILL: https://www.drjoannahowe.com/stopthegreens

A shocking new bill proposed in New South Wales could force Catholic hospitals and Christian health workers to perform abortions, threatening religious freedom across Australia. Introduced by Greens MP Amanda Cohn, this legislation goes beyond what anyone expected, setting a dangerous precedent that could lead to the closure of faith-based hospitals. If passed, this bill could cripple the public healthcare system, impact religious schools, and even target churches. Is this just the beginning of a broader agenda? Watch as we expose the truth behind this radical proposal and why Australians must act now to defend their rights. Sign the petition today!

THREE THINGS YOU CAN DO TO HELP:

1️⃣ SIGN THE PETITION (https://www.drjoannahowe.com/stopthegreens)

3️⃣ IF YOU ARE FROM NSW, SPEAK UP NOW by writing, calling and meeting with your local member and urgently contacting Premier Chris Minns.

CALL: (02) 9207 2000

EMAIL: https://www.nsw.gov.au/nsw-government/premier-of-nsw/contact-premier

‼️We cannot allow this Bill to pass as it will signal the end of religious freedom in our country.
