The unwrapped leaflet, featuring an illustration of a partial-birth abortion, was distributed by the Tell The Truth Coalition, which was also responsible for anti-abortion material distributed in Ballarat in March this year.

Those leaflets included bloody images of what were claimed to be aborted foetuses.

Complaints against the coalition at the time were upheld by the Australian Advertising Standards Bureau.

In the latest incident, the girl's mother complained to Western Victoria MLC Jaala Pulford, who described the leaflet as "pretty confronting".

"I know they (the Tell the Truth Coalition) have a point to make, and they want to make that point pretty forcefully," Ms Pulford said.

"But if they have a view to put forward in this debate, putting images like that in front of a seven-year-old just going to the letterbox is not very helpful."

Ms Pulford said the Tell the Truth Coalition obviously felt it was a "law unto itself" by disobeying the Australian Advertising Standards Bureau ruling.

It is not known how widely the leaflet has been distributed.

Ms Pulford said she would be passing the material onto the advertising standards bureau.

"All we can hope is to have a mature and sensible debate on the issue."

Ms Pulford said the images in both sets of leaflets would cause a great deal of distress, especially among women who had had miscarriages or terminations in difficult personal circumstances.

The Abortion Law Reform Bill 2008 will be debated in the next sitting of State Parliament in September.

Tabled by Women's Affairs Minister Maxine Morand on August 19, the bill, if passed, will fully decriminalise abortions in the first 24 weeks of pregnancy.

Women will be able to seek abortions after then with permission from two doctors.
