"All that is necessary to the triumph of evil is the silence of good men" (Edmund Burke).

Ardern, Little&Co, Death Dealers to the Nation, are determined to silence all "good men" - and women - who stand outside killing facilities to save New Zealanders from the evil of infanticide. 

Yes, let's call it by its name: infanticide, even though Ardern, Little&Co now say it's fine, it's perfectly legal to kill babies up to birth. And you might say, given the election result, that New Zealand voted for it. 

Labour MP Louisa Walls' 'private' Safe Areas Bill is unmistakably a government bill in pathetic disguise. In swearing and declaring that this will be a 'conscience vote' Jacinda Ardern lies in her teeth. Again.

"Hey, I don't like you being deprived of free speech any more than you do"

For one thing, this socialist Government proved a year ago, by voting almost to a man/woman to kill babies up to birth with no anaesthetic, that it has no conscience whatsoever. Their pretence of moral probity is laughable to a degree. And the so-called 'opposition' party, led by Judith Collins who voted for the massacre of the innocents but got herself photographed praying afterwards for re-election, is hardly any better. 

hypocrisy in church

honesty in Opposition

And for another thing, Stalinda and convert-to-kindness Collins have the numbers, overwhelmingly, to destroy perhaps for ever this nation's right to free speech in hospital grounds and on the public footpaths outside.

Walls' Safe Areas Bill - for which submissions close tonight at 11.59 p m - passed its first reading with 100 MPs in favour, 15 against, and two choosing not to vote. 

RNZ National ("Ngā mihi o te ata" and if you don't understand te reo, too bad) states that this bill "will allow for safe areas to be set up around specific abortion facilities so people’s access to those services are not obstructed by protests."

More porkies. The prayer vigils throughout New Zealand (in Hastings the evangelicals who set it up call it a "pro-life outreach") are in the nature of a peaceful witness to Christian teaching on the right to life: "Thou shalt not kill" (Exodus 20:13), and an offer of counselling and practical help to pregnant women who want it. 

It's their very Christianity which inflames and enrages the feminista like Ardern, Collins and Walls, who see in Christ Jesus Our Lord an enemy they can't legislate against, a power against which they are powerless. 

The Spinoff - one of this totalitarian Government's bought-and-paid-for media outlets - demonstrates this rage by calling Walls' exercise in evil "a bill that would ensure pregnant people seeking abortion don’t have to be confronted by angry mobs outside of clinics". It's a claim which would be laughable if it were not so manifestly untrue and unjust.

"Safe areas are designated spaces, at most 150 metres wide, around premises where abortions are provided where it is unlawful to intimidate, obstruct or interfere with people who are there to receive abortion care or provide it. 

"If you think that sounds like behaviour that ought to be unlawful anywhere, I agree"

... piously opines American ALRANZ operative Terry Bellamak. 

ONLY IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ANYWHERE IN NEW ZEALAND.

Can Bellamak be excused, as a Yank, for her ignorance? 

"Being targeted outside an abortion service feels a lot like street harassment, something almost everyone who has walked around this planet looking female has a visceral understanding of. It’s not about the stares, the whistles or the trashy come-ons. The threat of violence is foundational to the act of invading someone’s attention with sexist stares, whistles or words. 

"It’s bullying. What happens at these ‘protests’? Most anti-abortion harassment includes gory posters purporting to be aborted foetuses."

They're not "purporting to be"; they ARE aborted foetuses. They show the gory reality that we'd all prefer to think isn't the truth. But it is. 

"These usually depict foetuses at or near full term, even though 94% of abortions in New Zealand happen before the 14th week, when foetuses don’t look much like the posters. 

It's the same human life which is ended, whether in the first week or the fourteenth.   

"Many people would agree they are not appropriate in a public place."

Many people would agree they are not appropriate, period. Because they're prima facie evidence of extremely painful death at the hands of the State. At the hands of medical professionals who claim to be doctors and nurses.  

"The actions of harassers sometimes take a turn for the dramatic. High-pitched cries of “Mummy, please don’t kill me”. Shouts of “murderer” or “have mercy on your baby”. Or pelting people with baby doll parts daubed with red paint. 

In New Zealand??? Really??? Our passive populace? Our 'smiling zombies' (Gordon McLauchlan)? Bellamak is clearly living in the past, or in another country. Or in her overwrought imagination.  

Sometimes they say things like “you don’t have to do this” or “Jesus loves you”.

In New Zealand to my knowledge, until a passerby indicates interest in saving women and babies, not even that much is said.  

"But people being harassed can recognise when they are being condemned whether the weapon is abuse or condescension. And underlying the street theatre is the ever-present possibility of escalation to violence."

Perhaps we may kindly excuse Bellamak on grounds of some psychological trauma or other.  

"Across the world, even here in Aotearoa, “pro-life” extremists have committed violent acts, including 11 homicides in the US."  

Spot the non sequitur: "... Even here in Aotearoa ... including 11 homicides in the US."

"Deciding on abortion law" - Bellamak and NZ's grande Dame of abortion, Margaret Sparrow

What's involved in this specious Bill providing 'Safe Areas' - which are literally lethal to one of the two patients involved in a pregnancy, and extremely unsafe in terms of mental, physical and emotional outcomes for the other? It's not just a question of life or death but of free speech, which is the breath of New Zealand society, the society nearly 30,000 Kiwis died to defend in two world wars. 

Just who will determine what the word "intimidating" means, in terms of this pernicious Bill? Or what "interfere" means? If a mischiefmaker (like Bellamak perhaps) says she's been intimidated, how can she be proved wrong? A little mouse of a woman like Bellamak could be intimidated so easily, of course. It's all so subjective.

The Law Commission, having sought input from health professional bodies, abortion service providers and health practitioners about safe access zones and having found "the majority felt that safe access zones were not needed", has stated unequivocally: "At this time the Commission does not see a strong case for this." 

So how can such draconian legislation be justified? And the burning question has to be asked: just how are Ardern, Little&Co, Death Dealers to the Nation, going to impose and implement this outrageous restriction on Kiwis' liberty?

Will hospitals erect signs on their properties to warn visitors of the hazard of inviting criminal prosecution by (even unintentionally) 'intimidating' or 'obstructing' people? 

More significantly, as it's the NZ Transport Agency's responsibility to put up signs advising motorists of speed limits, will the NZTA likewise have to erect signs on public footpaths notifying passersby of free speech limits?

But wait on: abortions are carried out during fixed hours which change from time to time as the current babykillers lose the urge or retire to enjoy their ill-gotten gains. So outside those fixed hours, would it still be against the law to "protest", "obstruct" or "intimidate"? If not, movable signage would seem indicated. 

A refinement of road cones. Just what we need. More road cones, only call them footpath cones and put them out and take in again at the hours appointed for babykilling. And to distinguish them from road cones, they could be red.

Blood-red. That would seem appropriate.
