Families are on the outer in our society

Published: 31 July 2011

IT is curious that we bewail the throwing of a miscarried foetus into the hospital garbage, yet throw 100,000 aborted foetuses a year into various hospital garbage bins around the country (The West Australian, 14/7/11).

It is strange that we become indignant because an old man was thrown on society's rubbish dump and allowed to die alone in a flat in Perth (The West Australian, 14/7/11), yet throw a whole generation of young Australians on the social garbage dump rather than seeing that they have jobs, bowing to the greed of corporate business which requires a large pool of unemployed men, and having deprived these young men of work, we deprive the women they might have married of husbands and providers, and the unwanted children produced by these young mothers are abandoned with their lonely parents in the bleak inland suburbs of all our cities.

But let's face it.

Our legislation and our media show clearly that we are a people who hate families, and who can only expect to produce the above disasters, and more and more frequently.
