Sorry to see that. It seems the religious in Australia look to America for inspiration.
Here in the USA even politicians can get away with telling women who leave violent abusers that they're "bad mothers" and "you married him for a reason" to "if it's really rape then you can't conceive" and still do well in the polls. You should see some of the things Romney's VP pick has said and sponsored (like the "personhood bill" that would grant fetuses personhood at the moment of conception as well as the "Save Life Act" which meant if giving birth would mean the mother dies then a religious hospital doesn't have to do anything to save her, but you have to understand, pro-life isn't about protecting innocent babies, it's about punishing women). And here in the USA they're considered mainstream, not fringe, and many also say such people are "moderates." So all in all y'all are still doing better than us.
