A faith-based initiative, mate?

Here’s an exercise. First, read the following story:

The federal Health Minister says the Catholic Church will run part of the Government's multi-million dollar pregnancy counselling service aimed at reducing the number of abortions in Australia.

Now, try to think of all the reasons why this is not a good thing. Please try to keep your answer to under ten single-spaced pages.
Please note: This is going on in Australia, not the States! This religious Bushit is highly contagious – the Health Minister Tony Abbott is infamously a conservative Catholic and is one of those whose names get mentioned as possible future Prime Minister material. Scary.
