SPC

Fletch, the best way to reduce the occasions of this is fewer unwanted pregnancies and more women prepared to take a pregnancy to term by their own choice.

The former is realised by reducing the resort of condom use as a contraceptive (it will fail at some point), and using it exclusively as a safe from STD option. The latter requires a more responsible attitude towards life in general, a genuinely more moral society (that provides health care to all/provides the necessities of life to all/security of life to all). Or is that morality asking too much of the selfish, and economically and politically privileged, conservative of the West?

Failing that, it is the capacity to sustain life in an incubator at younger and younger stages of life that will assist in gathering public support for increasing protection of “unborn” lives. Supporting investment in research in this area would be a smart move by the pro life advocates.

PS An absolute pro life position whereby the mother is required to sacrifice her life to carry the child to term is not morally consistent

“Dennis, are you a bit thick? Māori is written in Māori, using the English alphabet. Pronunciation of the characters in Māori is often very different from English.”

Not only is the spelling not Maori but the interpretation is in Maori as well. In summary it reads clearly…”there was no treaty, we never gave up sovereignty, we was just joshing bro, it was a rip off colonisation and everyone that is Maaaaari owns NZ so keep on paying up.”
