    From the "good News ' section on stuff. I whole heartedly agree.

    "Abortion law
    Reform of New Zealand's archaic abortion laws was long considered too hard, until all of a sudden it wasn't. Political commentators have noticed that Justice Minister Andrew Little has been playing a blinder this term and his abortion reform bill may turn out to be the highlight. Little negotiated a compromise that seemed to satisfy NZ First before mercurial NZ First leader Winston Peters stepped in to confuse the matter with talk about a referendum. Bad news for Peters, though: Little already had the votes lined up, thanks in part to National's Amy Adams, and the NZ First tantrum made the party's male MPs look irrelevant for once. The 94-23 vote must have taken many by surprise. Politics aside, it really matters that abortion should finally move from the criminal arena into public health. "

    Sorry to be a scratched record. But still no answers to hard questions. If it is any comfort, you are in the same boat as many of our politicians and the general public. Andrew Little should be forced to be present during a late term abortion. He would never look himself in the mirror again.

    The Bible went the same way as the Catholic Church when pedophiles were allowed to masquerade as priests and holy men, abused children and were covered up and the criminals protected by the Church, and the innocents persecuted when they tried to get justice.

    And what would you replace it with Balance? The Labour Party manifesto? Mein Kampf? Like it or not Western Society is based upon it. Do away with it at society's peril. Nietzsche grasped this with his "God is dead" statement. He was asking the rhetorical question of what do you replace Him with? Trust me, there are plenty already lining up.

    Careful what you wish for FP. With the current lot you just might get it.
