An abortion carried out to protect a mother is not a preventable death, whereas the millions of women around the world, who die from the bleeding complications of birthing, is preventable sometimes via aborting a fetus, is!

Any religious fanatic with absolutely no medical training or knowledge can seek to differ and show a calloused indifference for the destitute or overburdened mother!

Is all too easy for MEN/FUNDAMENTAL FANATICS, who have never ever had to carry a child or give birth to one, to critique deserted, destitute mothers and would if they could condemn them to a life of domestic servitude and endemic poverty. THE USUAL OUTCOME!

I'd allow some of it from any male who first passed a bowling ball-sized stool without anaesthesia! Or post-op bleeding control! VOLUNTEERS!? Charles? Let those without sin, cast the first stone!

None of these fundamental fanatics ever offer to share that child-raising responsibility or the social isolation that is often the outcome of going full term with an unexpected date rape or incestual pregnancy!

With many of the sires, front and centre, chanting slogans and hurling abuse outside family planning medical clinic?

You know, those charming affable street angels, house devils, that are virtual dictators behind closed doors? IF THE CAP FITS!

On the topic of highly PREVENTABLE HUMAN DEATHS! what about those preventable cancers that w send home to die in annual numbers more than double the annual road toll? In annual millions around the globe!

Most of who would get full remission with one or two applications of, alpha particle bismuth 213!

yep one Ethiopian leader said of the work of Bill Gates and his depopulation idealogy

'“We are thirsty and they give us condoms! We are hungry and they offer us contraceptive pills! We are sick and they offer us the most modern techniques of abortion! We are naked and they lead us into the arms of sexual hedonism! We are imprisoned by poverty and they offer us sexual liberation! Silent tears roll down for Africa in a modern world that can neither see our pain nor hear our cry for help. We mourn deeply for the destructive seeds of sexual revolution which were sown last week in Addis Ababa.”

The Coronavirus is nothing compared to the evils of killing the unborn and pushing sick depopulation ideologies.

Now, if we were the world's leading producer of alpha particle, miracle cancer cure, bismuth 213? They'd arrive in annual tens of millions and fill up all the hotels/motels and restaurants of rural and regional Australia!

Plus, keep two airlines as busy as their fleets and onshore, fleet maintenance would allow!

Created ASAP as fast as we can roll, mass-produced, city, factory-built, SMR MSR thorium modules and ship then to all points of the outback, to operate in underground facilities for security and other perceived, if hardly real, fearmonger, possibilities.

Do the above as a cooperative capitalism enterprise, with dozens of regional co-ops vying for participation and the income and economic benefits/medical facilities etc., that would be forced to follow!

And set us up for the Mother and Father of all recoveries and a turbocharged economy on steroids! And if necessary funded and facilitated by the government with helicoptered, government money, i.e. ours!

Yes, I know we could double current outlays to as high as a total of two trillion, or two-thirds of OUR super? So what? money/capital has never ever been cheaper and if we are going to do something visionary? now is the time to do it and in so doing become an energy-exporting superpower, that no renewable-powered one can ever in their wildest dreams, compete with!

If we create a two and a half times larger 9 trillion dollar larger economy with plausible overfull employment and economic growth? And we can! We could eliminate that debt in a decade, even as we create hundreds of new, mum and dad millionaires And a period of post-pandemic, unprecedented universal, egalitarian prosperity!

By employing/deploying, already tried and tested, depression-era economic fundamentals to engage the usual economic flow on factors the make one dollar do the work of seven or more within our own economy. Thereby, ensuring a carbon reduced future that's far, far better and fairer than any that preceded it, for our kids and their kids!

Sprry I do have to call the author out for decrying sensationalist headlines for driving public policy on the one hand then doing exactly the same himself to make his own point.

Quote;

"Coronavirus pandemic could push half a billion into poverty," stated a headline in The Age (April 9). This would be the global effect of an extended economic shutdown in the West.

End quote.

'“We are thirsty and they give us condoms! We are hungry and they offer us contraceptive pills!
runner,
Bill Gates said that ? What insight into the problems ! Bill gates for POTUS !

My view is that this nonsense foisted on us is the real disease! When politicians and public Service mandarins get pay cuts never mind no pay I will see this as some sort of emergency.
This is hammering our businesses, savings and life styles to grind us into poverty. Then they can savour the travel and luxuries without seeing us get any which will double the sweetness!
I will not vote for Victoria's Andrews or Morrison and I think the level of resentment in the general community is greatly underestimated.
As for "we are all in this together" that's the equivalent of saying heads we win and tails you lose!

Hi Individual.
Bill Gates still seems to be in possession of normal human empathy and a decent helping of compassion?

And would make a half-decent President?

And has a better understanding of the economic realities a someone who started Microsoft from his garage. And earnt all his fortune from that small beginning!

As opposed to the robber baron class who like the white-shoe brigade, Build their personal fortunes with "legally" acquired, other folk's money. And maybe think that because we wah our hands to kill the virus. All we need do is get and injection of disinfectant? And this bloke controls a hero-worshipping rabble. Folk/useful idiots, who'd smell smoke emanating from never ever used cerebral circuits, if they gave serious thought to the suitability of their hero for office?

Personally, I think they should follow his injection policy to the letter and then thank him personally when he joins them for the latter B-B-Q. Theirs and his?

Oh boy, are we going to have a hot time or what at the eternally hot, Hotel California? Yes folks, you can check out anytime! But, Oh, ha, ha, ha, chortle- - - -
Cheers, Alan B.

runner,
Who's talking about depopulation ? I thought birth control was to prevent overpopulation rather than depopulation ?
I don't think abortion is anywhere near as cruel & evil than watch babies & children & parents suffer just so some ideologues can feel themselves being good !
Those religious zealots could teach evil people a thing or two about evil !

Individual:
Hear, hear and well said! Clearly some, none so blind that they will not see. Ae intellectually incapable of seeing real evil, given brainwashed fro birth belief, EVIL, is almost impossible to counter!

Sir Richard Bramston of Virgin, tells a story, where he invites a highly placed official from the flat earth society, for a ride in one of his low orbit space flights.

The offer is accepted and the flight is taken, with the official glued to a porthole. Once they land, Sir Richard inquired, so, what do you think now? To which the official replied and here I paraphrase, The graphics were out of this world and the special effects so brilliant a to parody reality. then walked away, brainwashed from birth belief system intact and unaltered.

The bible claims many things never ever proven or provable, one of which is an admonition to not cast your pearls (wisdom) before swine ( the brainwashed acolytes) like the evil brethren cult/Scientology.

The runner e.g. will give a real mouthful of quasi-religious abuse when his claptrap is challenged by the facts/evidence. Simply put, not all " Christian" practise/belief is anything remotely like the Christian message as evocated by the Rabbi Jesus!

Take care and stay safe at home.

Only 9 posts, 45% of them from the one poster (who posts on anything and everything) over a boring weekend seems to support JBower's comment that the "nonsense" is more deadly than the disease. People have had enough, possibly? It's not as if the people churning out these pieces know anymore about the China virus than the rest of us do.

I'm looking forward to being free of this continuous virus twaddle about which we cannot do another damn thing other than what we are already doing; and even that is proving to be overkill. There has been a massive overreaction that looks like wrecking our economy into the foreseeable future. That's what is important now

Stop Press. Another China virus death in Victoria. This time a man in his 90s. What a shame he couldn't make the 100.

Could be Old age disguised as COVID-19 ? Or, is the term Old Age politically incorrect too now ? What are we called now, COVID-19 merchants ?

'he runner e.g. will give a real mouthful of quasi-religious abuse when his claptrap is challenged by the facts/evidence. '

still waiting for it Alan. I won't be holding breath if the rubbish you dish up is anything to go by.

The Federal Government has knocked back two applications from Chinese miners in a week. Perhaps they are getting fair dinkum.

No hoorays' from the Left & Greens ?

Has anyone heard if the pregnancy rate has gone down since social distancing ?

What about Crime ? Any fall in that ?
