She is a lobbyist on social issues and formerly the Queensland and Northern Territory state director of the Australian Christian Lobby (ACL).

[1] Francis' political interests before joining ACL in January 2011 included her running as the lead Senate candidate in Queensland for the Family First Party in the 2010 Federal election.

[3] Chad St James, the Brisbane editor of SameSame, said of Wendy Francis: "Over a couple of hours sitting in a cafe, the two of us chatted and for the very first time I saw very human side to a woman who has been one of our most stringent opponents to marriage equality.

[7] During April 2013, Francis lobbied against government subsidies for the abortion drug RU486 saying, "Women facing unsupported pregnancies should be offered real support – not a chemical which is harmful to both them and their unborn child.

Francis was criticised due to her campaign not mentioning any affiliation with the ACL, and for describing the image as an act of foreplay.

[16] Francis received abuse over her support of changes in surrogacy laws to exclude same sex couples and single people.

[18] The petition incorporated wording from a Safe Schools student resource, OMG I’m Queer, intended for children aged 11 and up.

[20] While the Palaszczuk government has said that it does not have plans to introduce the Safe Schools program in Queensland, Francis is concerned that that could be reintroduced in some other form.

Francis does not ignore the reality of children born with intersex conditions which, whilst rare, account for a number of genetic or developmental situations.

[28] Francis heads the 'Centre for Human Dignity', which was established in 2017 by ACL[29] to advocate for rights and freedoms, particularly for vulnerable children and to stand against all forms of sexual exploitation.
