Fatherhood & Family under Threat
Children Need a Mother and a Father

'Father' to go from Birth Certificate is the headline of a story in
the Herald Sun on 18th May 2008. The Same Sex Relationship Bill 2008
will radically alter 57 pieces of important legislation in a
calculated attempt by the NSW Labor Government to discriminate
against men, derogate fathers, fragment families and break the hearts
of our children.

Children need a mother and a father. To deprive them of that right by
government regulation is callous and heartless. Legal advice has
indicated that the proposed bill, as it affects Section 24 of the
Anti-Discrimination Act (1977), could make the word 'father'
discriminatory. Sadly this has already happened in California, USA
after the passing of similar legislation.

Studies from around the world show that children raised by their
natural biological mother and father fare much better than those who
are not raised in a natural-parent family.

A recent Australian study
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,23657729-5013404,00.html
showed that children who do not live with their natural biological
father were between 17 and 77 times more likely to die from
intentional violence or accident. These facts are corroborated by
academics from around the world

The NSW Labor Government needs to see that you care about your
children. Mr Iemma needs to know that the fathers and mothers of NSW
will not accept such politically correct madness. Children need a
father and a mother.

Come to NSW Parliament House, Macquarie St, Sydney on 3rd June for
the Dads4kids Forum. Show the government that you care for our
children.

Speakers: Warwick & Alison Marsh, Fatherhood Foundation; Wayne
Butler, Shared Parenting Council; Richard Egan, Festival of Light;
Barry Williams, Lone Fathers Association and many others from within
the fatherhood/mens and pro-family movements including pro-family
state parliamentarians.

Registration for the Dads4kids Forum is essential as space is limited.
