Woman, 27, Left Infertile After Having 17 Abortions in Just Six Years.
A 27-year-old woman from China, known as Xiao Ju, has reportedly had seventeen abortions in just six years. That’s an average of three abortions per year since the age of 21. Dr Zhao Qin from Shiyan Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital, who treated Xiao Ju during her seventeenth abortion, pleaded with the woman to reconsider the procedure and keep her child because it would likely be her last chance at being a mother. The internal damage to Xiao Ju’s uterus was so progressed that the membrane may not be thick enough for a fertilised egg to properly implant. Doctors…
PragerU’s Uphill Battle Against Censorship As Ads are Permabanned by Spotify
American conservative media organization, PragerU, is facing an uphill battle against an increasing trend towards censorship of conservative content. Founded by Dennis Prager in 2009, and currently run by CEO, Marissa Streit, PragerU provides commentary and information on a wide range of subjects, from prominent thinkers and doers. PragerU also considers themselves to be a platform for the preservation of Judeo-Christian values, and “the concepts of freedom of speech, a free press, free markets and a strong military to protect and project those values.” (PragerU ‘What We Do’) In an official Facebook post from January 26th, 2019, PragerU admins wrote:…
Dr Stephen Hicks: ‘Are we fighting the postmodernists with one hand tied behind our backs?’
Are we fighting the postmodernists with one hand tied behind our backs? Intellectual battles are the cognitive lifeblood of a healthy society. Life is complicated and the stakes are high, so thoughtful and passionate people have lots of arguments. Only by argument can we sort out the facts about complicated matters. Only by putting our ideas to the test of evidence and by being willing to change our minds can we make progress. Intellectual fighting is not often fun, but it is better than settling our differences by physical fighting. The advantage of being an intelligent species, Austrian philosopher Karl…
Scott Morrison can’t save the election, but he can save politics.
The problem with Australian politics is the paradox of a lack of clear choices and a context of unprecedented polarisation. If I can even be so naive as to suggest there is only one problem, or even only one main problem, optimism about political debate and futures could be greatly improved simply by the major parties clearly distinguishing themselves from each other. There’s a common frustration about both parties being nearly indistinguishable. MPs in the parties often feel this is unfair, especially those further from the centre, and their feelings are not without merit. But neither are the comparisons. For…
Why are the globalists silent when it comes to totalitarian Islamic aggression in Sudan?
In a 2006 article written for the Stanford Journal of International Relations, called “Responding To Genocide In Sudan,” Stephan M. Doane lays out reasoning for a much needed, tougher international stand on the issues plaguing Sudan. The article is dated, but raises, on an academic level, awareness about the plight of many South Sudanese people, who are stuck in a cycle of constant violence. Many of whom are Christians. Doane’s piece is well researched. He argues that the humanitarian crisis in Sudan is less acknowledged by international stakeholders. For example, the U.N and the international community appear “indifferent” towards the…
Prime Minister Scott Morrison says, Australia is NOT a secular country.
The 2016 Australian Census revealed 52.1 per cent of the population identified as Christian, while only 2.6 per cent subscribed to Islam, and at least 30 per cent noted that they had no religion. Despite the plurality of ideologies in Australia, it’s not uncommon to hear people claim that Australia is a secular nation. What’s often meant is that Christianity has no place in politics. Which is a sentiment usually summed up in the now misunderstood phrase, “Separation of Church and State.” As Dr Stephen Chavura recently noted, there’s a common misconception that separation of church and state means religion…
WATCH: Does Australia have a separation of church and state?
Does Australia have a separation of church and state, and if so, what does it mean? There’s a common misconception that separation of church and state means religion should not have any influence on politics or legislation. In the following short video, Dr. Stephen Chavura says this misunderstanding confuses two very different ideas. “Separation of church and state is about the power of one institution over another – of the government over the churches and over people’s religious beliefs. Separation of religion and politics is the idea that religion shouldn’t in any way influence politics, and that’s probably not even…
French President Emmanuel Macron wants to build a European army to oppose the United States.
The speech delivered by Emmanuel Macron, at the Armistice Centenary this week, was a carefully targeted rejection of Donald Trump and his popular platform. French President Emmanuel Macron remarked: The old demons are rising again, ready to complete their task of chaos and of death. Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism. Nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism. In saying, ‘Our interests first, whatever happens to the others’, you erase the most precious thing a nation can have, that which makes it live, that which causes it to be great and that which is most important: its moral values. Macron…
Donald Trump’s “No” to Imperialism
From the start of his candidacy, I’ve considered Donald Trump a diamond in the rough. It’s a working hypothesis that I’ve held onto in the face of an onslaught of fear and dire predictions about his alleged “reign of terror”, a lot of which came from almost everyone I know (theologians and pastors included). Joining the bandwagon condemnation of Trump, in order to spread fear, was always a darkened side-road best left in the rear-view mirror. Minus a few friends and two years on, this hypothesis still stands strong. While I believe that God can transform, and still is in…
Too many white, male trains in ‘Thomas The Tank Engine’, program introduces gender-balanced and multicultural trains.
According to HuffPost, popular children’s television show Thomas The Tank Engine has capitulated to “years of accusations of sexism, racism and classism,” by introducing “inclusive gender-balanced and multicultural characters.” The program, now in its 73rd year, is set to feature Isla, an Australian Flying Doctor; Noor Jehan, a royal express engine from India; Hong-Mei, A Number 1 Blue Tank Engine from China, and Churubala, a female railway controller from India. “Thomas will also leave the island of Sodor to meet new trains, as part of a bid to expand the series’ global appeal and promote ‘sustainable development goals‘ in partnership with…
Researchers say: ‘discrimination against women starts in the womb.’
A phenomenon of “missing girls” could be afflicting Victoria, Aisha Dow at The Age has reported. “A study of more than a million births suggests some parents could be aborting unborn female babies or undergoing embryo selection overseas in order to have sons.” According to researchers, the findings indicate “systematic discrimination against females starts in the womb.” Lead researcher Dr Kristina Edvardsson from Melbourne’s La Trobe University said, “We believe that some women may be terminating pregnancies after discovering they are expecting a girl and in other cases are travelling overseas to access non-medial sex selection services through assisted reproduction.”…
WATCH: Chaplain to the Queen warns: ‘It’s going to end in blood.’
Rev Dr Gavin Ashenden was the Honorary Chaplain to the Queen from 2008 until his resignation in 2017. In the video below, Rev Dr Ashenden explains what’s behind the push for same-sex marriage and the gender revolution currently taking over the West. We’ve also transcribed some of Dr Ashenden’s noteworthy points. Undoing Marriage: The strange thing is, the effect of being just and kind and generous and protective to the small minorities is to begin to undo marriage. Then when you listened to them, they give it away… A famous Canadian author said we don’t want marriage, we don’t like…
British Labour MP Diane Abbott says Mao did more good than harm
Diane Abbott, British Labour MP and Shadow Home Secretary, believes “Mao did more good than harm.” Yes Mao, the Chinese communist revolutionary who founded the People’s Republic of China and is responsible for the deaths of 40-80 million people. In the video below, Abbott states: I suppose that some people who judge that on balance Mao did more good than harm. You can’t say that about the Nazis. Andrew Neil immediately interjected, “Mao killed tens-of-millions of people!” British journalist, Michael Portillo, who was also sharing the couch with Abbott asked, “Just tell me what was the good that he did…
Immigration cannot solve world poverty
Roy Beck, founder of NumbersUSA, offers a revealing presentation responding to the notion that mass immigration can help to reduce world poverty. How many people in the world make less than $2 per day? Here are the numbers, according to Beck: Africa: 650,000,000 India: 890,000,000 China: 480,000,000 Rest of Asia: 810,000,000 Latin America: 105,000,000 Of the 7.4 billion people on earth, there is a total of 3 billion people who make less than $2 per day. If we include those who live in countries with an average income lower than that of Mexico, there is an additional 2.6 billion, making…
Dastardly Dastyari
When Herschelle Gibbs dropped Steve Waugh in the 1999 Cricket World Cup one of the most misquoted quotes was born. It’s commonly understood that Waugh said, ‘How does it feel to have just dropped the World Cup?’ But, according to the man himself, the truth is it was more like, ‘That’s going to cost your team today, Hersch’. Regardless of what particular version you go with, surely, this time, Dasher has done his dash – at least with the Australian voting public. As David Flint has recently argued in his excellent article, “He would be disqualified under section 44 of…
More than 100 Queensland candidates pledge support to child murder
Things are looking gloomy in the Sunshine State. Up to 148 Queensland election candidates have signed up to Fair Agenda’s pro-abortion candidate pledge. The independent group is pressuring candidates to vow, if elected, they will, “vote to remove abortion from the criminal code, and support laws to ensure all Queenslanders can safely and legally access full reproductive healthcare, without being harassed or intimidated.” The pledge has also gained backing from The Human Rights Law Centre, Women’s Legal Service Queensland, White Ribbon, and Queensland Council of Unions. Candidates who have signed up commit to supporting three reforms in particular: Treat abortion like other medical procedures,…
