On the 50th anniversary of the Abortion Act 1967, it’s time to honour the 8.7 million unborn children killed since the passing of the Act

More than 8.7 million unborn children have been killed in the UK with the complicity of the state – in procedures funded by taxpayers, mostly men – over the 50 years which have elapsed since the passing of the Abortion Act 1967. That number is higher than the combined populations of Scotland and Wales, and it’s close to the population of Greater London.

We covered the issue of abortion in our 2015 general election manifesto (pp.5,6). We plan to lead some protests this year, and support others. It’s about time religious denominations showed some moral leadership on this issue, by announcing plans to mark the half-centenary of the vile Abortion Act, the enabler of the destruction of so many innocent lives.

Good news from the first day of the Trump administration. The start of the article:

If there was any doubt about President Donald Trump’s stance on abortion, he settled it Monday by using an executive order to bar U.S. aid to groups that provide or promote the procedure overseas.

The decision to reinstate the Republican policy known as the “Mexico City policy,” or the “global gag rule,” was delivered a day after the 44th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion and two days after the Women’s March on Washington and similar events across the country drew crowds to rally for reproductive rights, among other issues.

During the presidential campaign, Trump vowed to appoint “pro-life” Supreme Court justices. He said that if the Roe decision is overturned, the question of whether abortion is legal would go back to individual states.

The end of the article:

Abortion-rights group NARAL immediately issued a statement Monday condemning Trump’s move. “It’s telling that one of Trump’s first executive actions combines two of his favorite things: silencing anyone who disagrees with him and repressing women,” the group said. “With this action, Donald Trump has turned his anti-women rhetoric into policy, and made it more difficult for women and families all over the world to access vital reproductive care. He really is living up to the lowest of expectations.”

I find much of the language used by proponents of abortion utterly abhorrent. How could anyone with a moral compass refer to the killing of unborn children, ‘vital reproductive care’? They couldn’t. It’s no accident that feminists have always been enthusiastic supporters of abortion.

David Goodwillie and David Robertson retire from professional football after rape allegations. They have never faced a criminal trial.

Our thanks to Bryn for this. The case against the two Scottish professional footballers was so weak that the Procurator Fiscal – Scotland’s equivalent of the CPS – declined to bring a prosecution. The judgement against the men was nothing more than a guess by the judge in a civil case brought by the woman, who had originally sought £500,000 compensation. The parallels with the Ched Evans case – who was eventually cleared of charges, after serving two and a half years of a prison sentence – are uncanny.

A feminist zealot’s open letter to Philip Davies MP

Our thanks to Kevin for this. It’s all good, but I particularly enjoyed this:

Then there was International Men’s Day. Oh, what a mistake. But congratulations, you managed to turn a discussion about women into yet another discussion about men.

The Home Office does not hold information on the legality (or otherwise) of MGM

The police report into the Home Office. You’d imagine that the police’s steadfast refusal (along with the CPS) to bring prosecutions against genital mutilators – clearly breaching the Offences Against the Person Act 1861 – would have a legal basis, or at least the claim of one. Because MGM is demonstrably illegal – it would require a parliamentary override to be legal, and that has never existed – we continue to test the point, with a series of FOI requests.

On 19 December we sent the Home Office a FOI request on MGM. The request was this:

What information does the Home Office hold on the legality (or otherwise) of the non-therapeutic circumcision of male minors?

Two days ago we received their response by email. The key sentence:

The Home Office does not hold the information which you have requested.

The inevitable conclusion? The Home Office does not have a legal basis for failing to prosecute those who mutilate the genitals of male minors.

The letter ends with a disingenuous sentence about a FOI response from the Department of Health. We won’t insult your intelligence by linking to it. It basically claimed that MGM is legal because there’s no specific law against it, a position we’d destroyed in our original FOI request.

Crowd of 1,500 (or possibly 1,200) feminist zealots, manginas, and children march past Philip Davies’s office in Shipley

At the London conference six months ago, Philip Davies MP (C, Shipley) gave a speech on the Justice Gender Gap, in which he made some well-reasoned points about ‘feminist zealots’. A few weeks later the Guardian decided to mount an attack on him, with the aim of having the whip withdrawn, in which event he’d no longer have been a Conservative MP. It failed spectacularly. James Delingpole’s article for Breitbart was particularly memorable, and titled, “Feminazi Zealots Adopt Feminazi Zealot Tactics To Get An MP Sacked For Pointing Out Their ‘Zealotry.'”

A group named ‘Shipley Feminist Zealots’ was formed. Feminists are nothing if not utterly predictable.

Davies’s local paper, the Telegraph & Argus, yesterday published online an account of an anti-Trump and anti-Davies march past Davies’s office. The Google Alert mentioned 1,200 marchers, while the published piece claimed 1,500. Both numbers appear to be gross overestimates, judging by the six accompanying photographs.

In the photographs, the geniuses – feminist zealots and other silly women, manginas, children – can be seen carrying placards with the following:

WE MARCH FORWARDS, NOT BACKWARDS (Shame. Marching backwards would have been altogether more entertaining. The ‘K’ in ‘backwards’ is replaced with a Swastica.)

A WOMAN’S PLACE IS IN THE STRUGGLE (the struggle for a loss of rights, to give gender equality with men?)

A WOMAN’S PLACE IS IN THE RESISTANCE

I AM WOMAN, HEAR ME ROAR (I am woman, hear me whine, more like.)

HEAR OUR VOICE

STICK TOGETHER, SISTERS

WOMEN’S MARCH: SISTER MARCH BY SHIPLEY FEMINIST ZEALOTS

OUR BODIES, OUR MINDS, OUR POWER

LOVE TRUMPS HATE

SHAME ON YOU, TRUMP & DAVIES

An excerpt from the article:

Jenny Wilson, of the Zealots group who helped organise the march, said: “I think it’s brilliant to have that turnout for a march in a small town like Shipley.

“It means something to have that type of turnout.

“People have travelled from Calderdale, North Yorkshire and Leeds to take part.”

The distance from Calderdale to Shipley is 12 miles, from Leeds to Shipley 13 miles. People travelled from 20 countries to attend the London conference, from as far away as Australia (11,000+ miles). Anti-feminist zealots go to so much more effort than feminist zealots.

The end of the article:

In an open letter to the group, Mr Davies said he has only ever argued for men and women to be treated equally. He has offered to meet the group, which they have accepted.

I wonder if Davies will be selling tickets to that spectacle?

Cassie Jaye in Norwich. I wish they all could be California Girls.

Over the two days in which The Red Pill was screened in Norwich, I enjoyed the company of Cassie Jaye and others. Cassie was exactly as she has appeared in all the footage I’ve seen of her – fiercely intelligent, charming, delightful. In common with The Beach Boys, I wish they all could be California girls.

Cassie’s taller than you might expect, and rather sweetly flexed her knees slightly, to appear shorter than me for this photo. My thanks to Herbert Purdy for taking the photo on his iPhone.

The Red Pill – livestream from Norwich

Four venues in Norwich, in quick succession, cancelled their scheduled screenings of The Red Pill in response to complaints from people who hadn’t seen the film. Barry Wright outfoxed the feminists with a cunning plan, the screenings went ahead without incident, and were much enjoyed by the audiences. The Q&A panel consisted of Cassie Jaye, Erin Pizzey, Paul Elam, Dr Randomercam, myself, and three feminists (a transgendered person and two women, one of whom pulled out of the second night).

Barry hired a professional video production company to film the Q&A on the first night, he believes the footage will be available in a week’s time, when we’ll obviously link to it. The second night’s Q&A was recorded by a lady on the front row – on an iPhone, I think – I’ll check to see if that’s available.

We had a little time to kill on the afternoon of the second day, and someone came up with the idea of having a discussion, and livestreaming it on Dr Randomercam’s channel – here. It’s an hour long.  You may hear some snoring, that’s Barry’s dog.
