It’s one of the worst feelings when you realise that social progress isn’t guaranteed, and regressions happen frequently throughout history.

Which is what this is about. The number of later term abortions is tiny, but this would get them a foot in the door & reopen debate.

The Liberal frontbencher Ben Hood, who introduced the bill, says the woman’s right to end a pregnancy is kept because the pregnancy ends when the baby is born. “The innovation of this bill is that it allows a mother to end her pregnancy throughout all nine months and indeed, right up to birth,” he says.

That’s some mental gymnastics to come up with that logic. And unsurprisingly, from the supposed “moderate” branch of the Coalition.

That cunt is an outright bastard and so is every fucker who voted with him

No one decides late term to just fucking abort. At that point it’s overwhelmingly euthanasia. Forcing someone to carry a dead / hellishly suffering child to term is pure fucking evil.

And we need to start saying that very very fucking loudly every time this shit comes up. Because they’ve framing it as kittens and puppies and save the babbies when it’s fucking none of these things

Religion, and by extension Conservatism, are mental illnesses and should be treated as such.

The one thing I hate about it country is its desire to copy America with everything. Even though we see how poorly it goes for them first.

Our lizard people see how much money their lizard people are making torturing their peasants and want to get in on the action. That’s why we have the push towards private health care.
