Jonathan van Maren reports on an online video showing a North American pro-abortion activist (from a group called "Shout your Abortion") explaining to schoolchildren why her abortion - and just about every abortion - is a good thing and part of God's plan. Given the amount of rhetoric we have heard in certain quarters about the need to stop "shaming" women who have abortions, I wonder whether this may come to Irish schoolchildren sooner than we think? www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/watch-abortion-activist-tells-kids-abortion-is-part-of-gods-plan-like-visit

Really makes the case for supporting women priests...

Oh, the pro-aborts are very clever in getting a certain sort of cleric to bless their work. There's actually a "Religious Coalition in Support of Choice" just as "Catholics for Choice" have been doing their best to mislead the faithful in the US for years (and they have been sponsoring talks in Ireland for some time). Then again, there is a long history of the Bible being cited to advocate racism - I have heard of preachers in the Southern US proclaiming in regard to the Garden of Eden "The serpent was a nigrah!" (Really. They did). So these people have spiritual ancestors of whom they are worthy, and who are worthy of them.

According to Jonathan van Maren, our government's plans for a comprehensive baby-butchering service have hit an unexpected obstacle. A large proportion of the Irish medical service is staffed by Muslim doctors (for the same reason their used to be lots of Irish doctors in Britain - cheaper to import from poorer countries than to train them). Islam allows abortion under certain circumstances, but these fall far short of the virtual abortion on demand which is now being rolled out, and it seems that many Muslim doctors are demanding conscientious objection rights. I suspect this obstacle will be bulldozed or undermined, and nothing I say in this post should undermine the problems Islam poses as a religion. At the same time, this ought to be a lesson to the sort of self-proclaimed Catholic activist who demonises ALL Muslims and claims they are ALL engaged in a wholesale conspiracy to conquer the country. (I won't name names, but those who know where to look will find them.) I might also add that these doctors appear to be making a more sustained objection to the horror than some native figures who ought to be in the forefront of the protest. Again, I won't name names. thebridgehead.ca/2019/01/29/over-90-of-irish-doctors-refusing-to-commit-abortions/#comments

A recent IRISH CATHOLIC had a piece by their TV critic (who is very perceptive) noting that in their "New Year's Review of 2018" programmes the radio and TV channels only interviewed pro-Repeal activists when they were discussing the abortion referendum. He suggested that this indicates they are treating the abortion issue as settled beyond all dispute and no longer subject to debate. This was pretty predictable and is something we will have to bear in mind. Within a few years I expect pro-life views to be treated as morally equivalent to racism. Meanwhile, this song expresses the way a lot of us felt when the referendum results came out (although I'm pretty sure Bruce Springsteen never imagined it being applied in this context). Bear in mind that it is a lamentation but not despair: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnkJa6HdgJw

When I was going through some recent issues of the SUNDAY BUSINESS POST magazine section I noticed a radio review praising Sean Moncrieff's discussion of the controversy over the interaction in Washington DC between a NAtive American demonstrator and some school students wearing Trump hats (which I think are awful BTW) and waiting for their bus home after participating in the March for Life. (This was before the revelation that additional video evidence cast doubt on the Native American speaker's version of events and revealed he ignored openly racist abuse directed at the boys and the NAtive Americans by members of a fringe black nationalist group.) The review quoted Mr Moncrieff as repeatedly describing witnesses who supported the students as "pro-life right-wing types" as if the two go together and being pro-life is politically dubious. www.newstalk.com/moncrieff/they-reacted-with-anger-native-american-veteran-at-centre-of-viral-video-speaks-out-487612 I wonder if the article from last year's IRISH TIMES which I link below has anything to do with this attitude taken by Mr Moncrieff? www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/people/sean-moncrieff-my-girlfriend-listed-all-the-reasons-to-have-an-abortion-1.3393628

In a public speech to an international forum, our Taoiseach declared - amongst other things - that the right to choose abortion is an universal right,which we recognised by repealing the Pro-Life Amendment. So everyone who thought voting repeal was about the hard cases was really voting for the proposition that abortion on demand is an universal right and, as a natural corollary, that opponents of legalised abortion are trying to deny an universal right - i.e. are morally equivalent to racists. www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/government-loath-to-strip-citizenship-varadkar-says-1.3806147

Peter Hitchens provides more information on the progress of his complaint about a recent pro-abortion storyline in CALL THE MIDWIFE, and about the vigorous campaign waged by abortion supporters (including Conservative politicians and large sections of the media) that the BBC should have provided explicit information about abortion to accompany the show, on the grounds that abortion is no longer contentious in the UK but is simply a healthcare procedure (and therefore opponents of abortion are mere insignificant loonies). Note how some of the quotes show the programme being used to pressurise Northern Ireland to get in line with the abortion-Gleichschaltung agenda: hitchensblog.mailonsunday.co.uk/2019/02/curiouser-and-curiouser-the-battle-over-the-bbcs-promotion-of-abortuon.html

HEre is one for the "joined up thinking" file. For months we have been hearing that having any restrictions on abortion - a waiting period, counselling etc - is an assault on women's autonomy, a refusal to treat them as moral agents capable of making their own decisions, an exercise in guilt-manipulation and shaming etc. Now the IRISH TIMES has published a favourable story on a recent study suggesting that pregnant women should be obliged to take a test resembling a breathalyser which checks whether they are smoking, so that they can be properly monitored etc. Why do the IRISH TIMES and the egregious pro-abortion politicians and propagandists (names are unnecessary, if you have followed the debate you will know who I mean) not denounce this as a violation of women's autonomy, denial of choice etc? Echo answers why. So an atrocity is justifiable, so long as you don't smoke at the same time. Take me to the madhouse, it can't be more bizarro than our country has become. www.irishtimes.com/news/health/breath-test-pregnant-women-to-see-if-they-smoke-study-suggests-1.3807456

This is part of the ongoing demonisation of pro-lifers so as to exclude the pro-life message from any reasonable consideration. Think of it as the modern version of the pagan Roman claims that Christians practiced cannibalism and incest and worshipped a crucified donkey. Meanwhile, voices of civilised values such as the pro-choice demonstrators documented by Jonathan van Maren in the post below will become more frequent on the adult entertainment scene. (Note the charming song lyrics quoted, which are obviously aimed at distressing pro-lifers by gloating over the prospect of babies feeling pain as they are aborted.) Milder versions of these antics have been seen by anyone who has attended the March for Life in Dublin in recent years - expect them to be worse at the next march on 6 July as the Apostles of Molochianity celebrate their victory o'er the embryo. thebridgehead.ca/2019/05/27/pro-choice-man-sexually-harasses-pro-life-women-while-crowd-cheers/

I should add that of course we do have our own fringe of cranks (and worse) whom it's important to keep under control.

Peadar Toibin raised some issues concerning a recent abortion case in the Dail (i.e. under parliamentary privilege). RTE News reported that he had made allegations, but not their full content. Readers may recall that the newsmedia have taken a different approach in other instances (e.g when a TD raised issues concerning Denis O'Brien which involved an injunction, media outlets took advantage of Dail privilege to report them). www.rte.ie/news/health/2019/0612/1055002-holles-street/ See this video of the Dail proceedings (under privilege) for more on these allegations: m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1241668892623699&id=1052704411520149
