AusAID Attempts to Lift Abortion-Advising Ban
Written by Fiona R on | January 7, 2008 | No Comments
The Australian funded government has banned an organization known as “AusAID” from educating women overseas about abortion. The program is funded and run by the government, which begs to question: Why deal with abortion? Dr. Mal Washer said it himself:
“No one likes abortion,” [he] told [the reporter]. “I don’t like abortion, but it is ridiculous that we can’t give any advice to women overseas about abortion at a time when the government funds abortion advice to women in this country. It smacks of misogyny and stupidity.”
Way to contradict yourself, Washer. Especially when followed by this paragraph:
The MPs’ report said guidelines preventing Australian aid from being used to advise women on abortion were “cruel and illogical” and effectively encouraged unsafe illegal abortions, which were responsible for 13 per cent of all maternal deaths globally.
If women are getting abortions, then they must know of the concept. Why not spend money teaching prevention instead of educating them on something they already know?
