It is the only way that those mediocrities can get ahead. They step over the bodies of those they deceive and laugh all the way to the palace of
Versailles.

UNBELIEVABLE! If anyone ever doubts for one single minute who the true zealots, fanatics are, it's beyond me! The libs will stop at nothing, nothing to have their agenda promulgated. We should always let studies, if legitimate, speak for themselves, regardless of where we stand. If I heard of a thousand studies showing that women who had abortions had higher esteem for themselves, landed better jobs, got handsomer husbands, and lived longer, I'd still be AGAINST it.

As always, Mr. S, thanks for the excellent Colson post.

Are you sure it's fundamentalist Christian religion she's turned to, or maybe she actually turned to Jesus and her way of manifesting that change is by exhibiting and practicing what some people refer to as "fundamentalist" religion.

[Terriergal]

ping!

[Mr. Silverback]

You are welcome, of course.

,,, the main mess to clean up afterward is psychlogical. That aspect can't fit into a garbage bag. It conveniently perpetuates the need for "health professionals" in a country that panics over government adverts which obsessively "care" about New Zealand's high death count on the roads - in excess of 400 per annum. More actually die by drowning in lakes, rivers and on the large coastline each year, but drownings don't really get much of a mention because there's no consequence for the transport legislators who manipulate vehicle standards, in a country where vehicles aren't manufactured [love that one!].

Kept very quiet is the fact that the number of suicides each year is higher than the road toll... and way at the top of the list of not to mention stats are the 18,000 abortions the New Zealand government funds each year.

It's all about doing away with our own population.

Fergusson has told interviewers that he knows it’s because his findings are too “controversial” —so controversial that New Zealand’s Abortion Supervisory Committee warned him against publishing his work, not for scientific reasons, but for political ones.

,,, surprise, surprise.

[shaggy eel]

,,, God's Blessings on you! Wonderful account you've written here. Superb.

[Terriergal]

"Kept very quiet is the fact that the number of suicides each year is higher than the road toll ..." John, that is truly frightening!

“Those having an abortion [under age 25] had elevated rates of subsequent mental health problems including depression, anxiety, suicidal behaviours and substance use disorders.” Their report goes on to say, “The findings suggest that abortion in young women may be associated with increased risks of mental health problems.”

That's music to the ears of pharmaceutical companies. They'll feverishly give out samples of Prozac or other anti depressant drugs to boost the bottom line.

Prop choice people - hey get real! If they don't care about defenseless babies they're not going to care about adults. You won't hear about this in the liberal mainstream media in the U.S..

If I am not on it already, could you add me to your ping list?

“Every abortion requires two ‘certifying consultants’ to approve it on certain grounds, usually that a woman’s mental health would be [otherwise] endangered.”

I'd be interested to know if any woman seeking an abortion under this standard has ever been denied an abortion.

I am guessing they have all been approved on the spot and without debate.

[Exton1]

And another liberal ICON and belief is proved DEAD WRONG, and begins to bit the dirt.

[Mr. Silverback]

Interesting take. Consider this though: If the drug companies were smart, they'd be pro-life all the way. More babies means more sales in the long run--more pregnancy-related products, mre antibiotics for ear infections, more people needing medicine of one sort or another over a whole lifetime, etc. etc.

Which ping list do you want to get onto, the Colson list, the Pro-life list or both?
