The logical end game to a culture of normalised abortion

The logical end game to a culture of normalised abortion

WE'VE made abortion such a sanitised, abstract subject, guarded by aggressive feminism, that discussion of its realities is off-limits in polite company.

Even the word “abortion” is politically incorrect, replaced by the euphemism “choice”, or more recently, “reproductive justice”.

While societal attitudes are becoming more nuanced in the face of technological advances allowing us to see clearly inside the womb and keep premature babies alive earlier than ever, the zeal of abortion enthusiasts to shield women from the truth continues unchecked.

No nuance is reflected in the demonisation of the Catholic Opposition Leader, Tony Abbott.

As health minister in the Howard government he once said Australia’s high rate of abortion was “an unambiguous moral tragedy”, but did nothing to change abortion law. That is the province of state governments anyway.

What he did was offer vulnerable women more choice - in the form of a Pregnancy Support Helpline - to make them aware of all the options available in the case of an unwanted pregnancy. Thus, he is enemy No.1 to the Emily’s List brigade.

There is no nuance, either, in the campaigns by GetUp and the Greens to liberalise state abortion laws nationwide. Nor in Tasmania’s Labor-Green government’s determination to introduce draconian legislation, modelled on existing Victorian law, threatening doctors, counsellors and protesters with jail and hefty fines for opposing abortion.

Take, for instance, Melbourne GP Mark Hobart, who refused to refer a woman pregnant with a female foetus for an abortion because she and her husband wanted a boy. That’s choice for you.

The couple procured an abortion anyway, but Hobart says he broke the law by refusing the referral and risks being suspended or deregistered.

Since the story broke, commentary on the case has sought to dismiss Hobart as a political partisan because he is a member of the pro-life Democratic Labor Party.

But how does the revelation of his pro-life belief excuse the practice of sex selection abortion?

Perhaps it just means he is more attuned to the moral problems involved and less influenced by our collective denial of reality.

Every now and then, a story arrives to expose the unpalatable truth about abortion, that it is not just a medical procedure to remove tissue, but entails the death of a small helpless human.

The Kermit Gosnell trial winding up in the US does so with horrendous clarity.

Gosnell is the Philadelphia abortion doctor charged with murdering four babies who were born alive while being aborted and over the death of a woman allegedly administered too much anaesthetic during an abortion.

The clinic he operated for 30 years has been described as a “house of horrors”, piled high with body parts.

One former staffer testified: “It would rain foetuses.”

Another testified about the sound of a baby screaming after it was born alive.

“I can’t describe it. It sounded like a little alien.”

Some pregnancies were as advanced as 30 weeks, and some aborted babies lived for as long as 20 minutes.

One boy was so big Gosnell joked he could “walk me to the bus stop”.

The detail is complete with colour photographs of perfect, chubby, fully formed dead babies, whose bodies were found by police on a routine prescription drug bust.

The horrors of the Gosnell case are so inescapably graphic that even half a world away people are paying attention.

There is little room for abstract arguments when you are confronted with jars of severed babies’ feet.

Of course, local abortion enthusiasts have been busy claiming the case is an aberration, that it proves the need for less regulation of abortion and that blame belongs with abortion protesters.

The Gosnell case offends them because it renders absurd their contention that abortion is just another medical procedure, without a moral dimension.

And the fact is that babies do survive late-term abortion, even in Australia, although few hit the headlines.

There was the case of baby Jessica Jane, aborted at 22 weeks in Darwin Private Hospital in 1998, but who was born alive, weighing 515 grams, and with “good vital signs”.

She lived for 80 minutes, alone in a kidney dish, though a sympathetic nurse wrapped a warm blanket around her as she died.

While abortion its terrible, the catholic churches alternative was also very disgusting.

First, you took teenage girls, (often the victims of incest covered up by the church) and removed them from their communities into "laying in homes"

There you tortured them, and abused then in order to get them to sign away their children.

Later, chemotherapy was found to be very useful in obtaining tte desired signatures.

Some women never emerged from the institutions, especially notorious- the Magdalene Laundries.

Then you took the children and placed then into institutions, some were sent out into the world as adoptees (especially attractive to peadophiles because here endeth State oversight and regulatory regimes) others were kept in the institutions where for many decades they were known by number, not name.

Later government controls forced changes to the barracks system style institutions and forced the children to be addressed by name.

All the time, the institutions were a very convenient brothels for the priests and their mates.

The children eventually aged out of the system (except for those that didn't, even some were murdered by ' the religious' ( Brother Paul Francis Keaney MBE ISO was a particularly brutal killer of children) whereby they were so damaged most spent the rest out their miserable lives (as continues today) in the hand of the church/welfare nexus.

Many became famous criminals, haunting your dreams too BP.

Government funding for abortions is an outrage to the Catholic Church as it permanently dries up so many funding streams.

What have you to say about all of that evil Black Panther?


No doubt BP, you are one of these creepy toadies vociferously finding fault in the weaknesses of the lonely individual, yet so self devotional in your forgiveness of the most powerful of institutions!

You may as well blame the Protestant church for the English custom of Wife selling , that is your kind of logic, just crazy.

Wife selling in England was a way of ending an unsatisfactory marriage by mutual agreement that probably began in the late 17th century, when divorce was a practical impossibility for all but the very wealthiest. After parading his wife with a halter around her neck, arm, or waist, a husband would publicly auction her to the highest bidder. Wife selling provides the backdrop for Thomas Hardy's novel The Mayor of Casterbridge, in which the central character sells his wife at the beginning of the story, an act that haunts him for the rest of his life, and ultimately destroys him.

Although the custom had no basis in law and frequently resulted in prosecution, particularly from the mid-19th century onwards, the attitude of the authorities was equivocal. At least one early 19th-century magistrate is on record as stating that he did not believe he had the right to prevent wife sales, and there were cases of local Poor Law Commissioners forcing husbands to sell their wives, rather than having to maintain the family in workhouses.


Wife selling persisted in England in some form until the early 20th century; according to the jurist and historian James Bryce, writing in 1901, wife sales were still occasionally taking place during his time. In one of the last reported instances of a wife sale in England, a woman giving evidence in a Leeds police court in 1913 claimed that she had been sold to one of her husband's workmates for £1.

WTF are you on about now?

Wife selling led to a normalisation of abortion?
BTW, are you denying what I have said about the criminal abuses of the Catholic Church?

Is that why you have pulled something up from a century ago about the prods......as some sort of foil against the present day illegal, criminal activities of the Catholic Cgurch?

You guys, you allow medievil thinking to rule you!

Why don't you just go out pick on a single pregnant women you gutless turd.

I only condone abortion in the circumstance of rape.
other circumstances...
Sad vulnerable life destroyed by the stupidity of no thought of the consequences.

Newjerk? can you try harder than dig up another person's blog. My first promo was with Billabong and my name in English is modified with a T, am Perth born but also lived in Sydney to make my $$
It's Absolutely Fabulous if it includes brilliant locations, & high calibre tenants..what more does one want? Understand the power of the two "P"" or be financially challenged
Even better when there is family who are property mad and one is born in some entitlements.....Understand that beautiful women are the exhibitionists we crave attention, whilst hot blooded men are the voyeurs ... A stunning woman can command and takes pleasure in being noticed. Seems not too many understand what it means to hold and own props and get threatened by those who do.
Banks are considered to be law abiding and & rather boring places yeah not true . A bank balance sheet will show capital is dwarfed by their liabilities this means when a portions of loans is falling its problems for the bank.
