Collective Shout is a Christian anti-rights organization wrapped in feminist cloth.

The founder of Collective Shout previously successfully lobbied against mifepristone and opposed changes to legislation requiring pro-life pregnancy-counseling services to disclose their affiliations in their advertising.

In 2004, she founded the anti-abortion lobby Women's Forum Australia.

Why are you jumping from "anti-abortion" to "Christian"?

Collective Shout's primary PR release platform is "Eternity News", self-described as:

> Published by Bible Society Australia, Eternity is a national media platform for Christians, designed to encourage, equip and inspire them by revealing what God is doing in our nation and beyond.

That’s not a jump, it’s a straight line. These fundies like to dress it up but it’s transparently obvious to anyone who has dealt with religious fundamentalists that is their core driver.

> There is no "religious oligarchy" dictating anything.

You might inform Peter Thiel.
