Born Alive, Left to Die: The Australian Documenta

The Most Powerful Film You’ll See This Year: Born Alive Left To Die

An Australian-made documentary is exposing what few are willing to discuss: babies born alive after abortion — and left to die.

The documentary, titled Born Alive Left To Die, is difficult to watch. Yet this 22-minute film sensitively and unflinchingly presents the medical evidence that every Australian needs to know.

Many Australians remain unaware of our nation’s abortion laws, which now allow for abortions up to birth. If the public were properly informed, most would be shocked at the inhumane way these babies are treated.

This documentary, produced by the Australian Christian Lobby, will awaken hearts and deepen compassion for the unborn. It will inspire Christians to pray and act on behalf of Australia’s most vulnerable children.

It will raise up support for mothers and their babies — in situations where mothers will be told that taking the baby’s life is the way to solve the ‘problem’.

Please watch the three-minute trailer of Born Alive Left to Die below.

Host a Screening to Help Turn the Tide

We urge you to prayerfully consider hosting a screening of this powerful film in your church or local/home/prayer group, and help turn the tide on the greatest moral crisis Australia faces.

There are 90,000 abortions in Australia every year. But only 40 adoptions. As Pastor Carl Robinson, interviewed in Born Alive Left to Die says, “That’s not good enough.”

“Every woman with an unexpected pregnancy [should be] provided with so much support that the idea of an abortion is unthinkable.”

“Adoption”, not abortion, Robinson said, should “be the norm in Australia.”

“Babies deserve better. Women deserve better. Fathers, families, the whole of society, deserves better.”

ODM Daily Commentary

Let’s be honest: 90,000 abortions a year in Australia. And only 40 adoptions. That is not a statistic. That is a tragedy. And it is a tragedy that the documentary Born Alive Left to Die exposes with unflinching clarity.

The article from The Daily Declaration calls this film “the most powerful you’ll see this year.” It is difficult to watch. But it is necessary. Because most Australians have no idea that our laws allow abortion up to birth. They have no idea that babies born alive after abortion are left to die. They have no idea that the medical evidence is being hidden from the public.

The documentary is produced by the Australian Christian Lobby. It is designed to awaken hearts, deepen compassion, and inspire action. It is not just a film. It is a call to arms.

Pastor Carl Robinson’s words are a challenge to the Church: “Every woman with an unexpected pregnancy should be provided with so much support that the idea of an abortion is unthinkable.” Adoption should be the norm. Babies deserve better. Women deserve better. Society deserves better.

The ACL is providing training for those who want to host screenings. They are equipping the Church to respond in prayer, action, and support. They are connecting people to organisations like Diamond Women and House of Refuge Ministries.

The film is only 22 minutes long. But its impact could be eternal. A screening in a church, a home, or a prayer group could change hearts. It could save lives. It could turn the tide.

So here is the challenge: watch the trailer. Host a screening. Attend the training. Support the mothers. And pray for the babies.

90,000 babies a year. It is time to turn the tide.
