Emily's Voice Information

We started in 2007 when a group of friends gathered for dinner and the subject turned to abortion. They were concerned at the vast number of abortions (80,000 p.a. at the time, now about 70-80,000) 1 and the devastating physical and psychological effects on women, 70 per cent of whom would have continued an unplanned or crisis pregnancy if just one significant person had encouraged them to do so. Abortion is an irreversible decision, often made under duress, when a woman is vulnerable and usually without all the necessary information to make an informed choice. The founders decided that an ongoing, positive and beautiful national media campaign was needed to restart and reframe the life issue. We remain committed to the original mission to change the social consciousness of a nation until abortion is considered uncommon and unnecessary. We are motivated by love for women and their unborn children. Our beautiful media campaigns celebrate the beauty, dignity and value of every life, and feature real, personal stories about unplanned pregnancy. The campaigns link to the www.notbornyet.com website to expand the discussion about life, by providing accurate, timely and helpful information and support. The website contains links to organisations and resources that can provide this support and counselling, as well as featuring many other personal stories of women, men and families in similar circumstances. We also provide some financial assistance to practical pregnancy support services in areas where we advertise. Our campaigns can be seen in Tasmania, Western Australia, regional Queensland and the Hunter Valley of NSW. Emily's Voice is a not-for-profit charity, a company Limited by Guarantee, governed by a board of directors and managed by a Chief Executive Officer. The directors, staff, volunteers and supporters come from a diverse range of backgrounds. We rely on public donations to fund our campaigns. We invite you to join us by being an advocate for life and love. Learn more about how you can get involved.
