By Bill Muehlenberg, published 18/8/2010

The Greens are a party fundamentally at odds with basic Christian values and concerns.

Perfectly pitched and spot on in my opinion Bill.

The practice of human abortion is just brutal murder, we dehumanise our little sons and daughters like the Nazis dehumanised the Jews and Gypsies and slave owners dehumanised blacks. It just makes them easier to kill.

A populace that is inured to this level of brutal violence is in a very dangerous position with respect to seeing and judging clearly about a whole range of goods.

Which leads into marriage and homosexual sexual behaviour. Our people have decided they want 'sexual liberation' and have decided this liberation will need to be built on the corpses 100 000 babies a year. With our reason deformed, consciences wounded, we refuse to see the same sex coupling as 'marriage' proposal for what it is; the destruction of the institution in our country.

The selfish stealing of the lives and futures of children in the womb, of boys and girls who will never have the same opportunity to live under marriage norms they way we did - all this is not justice but its antithesis. It privileges the selfish desires, the will, of the strong over the voiceless and weak. They reject Christianity and they reject the really new thing that the Christian revolution brought - the revelation that humans have intrinsic dignity.

Labor-Greens are dishonest and refuse to come out and admit this, they hide behind their green moral facade.

It is difficult to think of a more obvious case of an anti-Christian platform than Labor-Greens. No Christian of good conscience can give power to this atheist/abortion/homosexual marriage double team. I couldn't agree more Bill, we are lucky to have your sane voice in the public square.

Jon J,

You stick to your faith which allows the killing of the unborn in the name of 'science'. Your faith has obviously helped create your callous heart towards unborn children. Thankfully their are plenty of doctors and Scientist that totally disagree with your condoning of blatant murder.

I'm glad hear that "a conscientious Christian could not vote for the Greens". For a minute there I thought they'd got it wrong!
Thankfully, there are far more hypocrites than "conscientious" Christians.

It's rather ironic that there should be such a clamour about the Greens supporting abortion, when the legislation supporting abortion was created by the major parties. The legislation has been in existence for some years while Liberal and Labor Governments have been in existence.
Likewise, one must wonder about the stupidity of some people when they believe that Peter Singer, and by inference the Greens, support beastiality.
The question arises how can a Christian support the Liberal, Labor or Green Parties on Saturday.

My Catholic friend informed me that there was shiny lift-out in the latest "Catholic Record" newspaper providing "information" on the Greens.

Ant is right. The current abortion legislation was agreed on by both major parties, and is now legal. It is a mute point that the Greens do or do not support abortion laws really.

So why are some posters flogging this dead horse of an issue?

A secular, democratic country like Australia will never force women to go through with a pregnancy if she chooses not to.

If some don't like that legal operation, then don't have it yourselves or move to another country that won't allow it.
