Every Child A Wanted Child?

Some ghastly personage with a pecuniary interest in abortion was on the radio last night saying that there should be even more abortions. Well, of course. There are still poor people. There are still working-class people. There are still people with disabilities. And those who could have stopped them from being born (and doesn't everyone want that?) are still struggling to get by on upwards of half a million pounds per annum.

Every child a wanted child? I ask you! Two hundred thousand abortions every year, a third of them on women who have already had one or more before, abortion now the single most common surgical procedure in Britain (i.e., more common than having a tooth pulled), and we still have eye-watering levels of child abuse and neglect, even before you add in the state of many schools. Every child a wanted child? How, exactly would we treat unwanted children, in that case?

We have long now rather imported everything than produce anything, and now we would even rather import people than produce them. Before very long at all, the whole of the South East, in particular, will be some vast conurbation unrecognisable as belonging to this or any other particular country. Public services will have collapsed, as will wages and working conditions. No one will be able to get by who cannot converse every day in half a dozen or more languages, and anyone who cannot will be on the scrap heap. All because of an initial shortage of labour. Yet we have two hundred thousand abortions every year.
