How naïve, to publish a plea from Jackie Edmond (Our abortion
laws are broken, July 5) for ‘flexible’ abortion legislation. As if our
legislation weren’t already as flexible as a yogi.
Edmond is chief executive of the cutely titled Family Planning Association,
who stated in the ‘40s that “once a life is created it should not be destroyed”.
How times change.
Family Planning, now one of the top NZ referrers for
abortion, runs an abortion clinic in Tauranga and will likely apply for licences
to run more clinics throughout the country. Family Planning peddles
contraceptives and nearly half the abortions done in 2012 resulted from
contraceptive failure.
Family Planning promotes ‘anything goes’ graphic sex education for teens and tweens and since
its introduction in NZ schools, teen pregnancies and STIs have soared. Family
Planning is in the business of sex, which naturally is
good for the abortion trade, and Edmond is paid to run it.
She sounds like
she’s touting for business.
