Disability rights groups fight for girl with mental age of 8 to keep rape baby

Saturday, September 5th, 2009

A 19-year old Indian girl with a mental age of eight is being encouraged  by ‘disability rights’ groups to keep the baby she had after being raped by staff at the ‘home’ she had been placed in after being found wandering the streets.

The Indian Supreme court has decided to overturn a previous court decision to give the girl an abortion, saying: “Nature will take care of the orphan mother and the child”.

When people in this kind of context talk about ‘nature’, what they mean is ’somone else’.  Let her keep the baby, someone else will take care of it.  Stop the abortion, someone else will feed the baby.

The last thing they want is for nature to take care of things – nature was taking care of the mother when she was found starving on the street.

George Tiller – stand up and be counted

Monday, June 1st, 2009

The murder of Dr Tiller should be a clarion call to anyone who values the right of the individual to make their own moral choices.

Despite being actively opposed to charity, I registered my own disgust against the murdering Christian right by making a donation to a pro-choice organisation, Marie Stopes International: www.mariestopes.org

Anyone who wants to strike out against Christian oppression, should do the same, or choose your own pro-choice organisation.

If we don’t show that we won’t be pushed around by the Christian Taliban, we’ll be dragged back to the burning times.
