Abortions

WE HAVE unwittingly betrayed the Anzacs.

The Anzacs fought two world wars so that we can live our lives free from oppression. They won, but our generation dishonours them daily by adopting values contrary to those they fought to uphold.

We are humans who are no longer humane. When children born alive are abandoned alone to die because they survived an abortion intended to kill them, this is not humane, nor do our authorities regard it as murder.

To our shame, Australian states are legislating abortions to full term, thereby legitimising the killing of babies that are capable of living outside the womb - this choice is therefore not about the mother’s body at all.

What about adoption rather than killing? Unfortunately Australia‘s hangover from the “stolen generation” and its ready recourse to abortion as the solution, makes it extremely difficult for those wanting to adopt children.

The NSW parliament’s debate as to whether abortion can be allowed on the basis of gender is a full acknowledgment that this is not about foetal tissue as abortionists sucked us into believing 45 years ago; this is now the selected murder of a well-developed human being.

For a nation that purports to believe in safety and in human rights, yet kills tens of thousands of young Australians every year, we have become a nation of hypocrites suffering from an intellectual disconnect when the truth is not convenient.

We have been progressively duped into accepting the killing of innocent people, not openly acknowledging the pain and regret post-abortion that women so often endure, becoming like the perpetrators of the holocaust that we despise, unworthy of the Anzacs.
