Pregnant Pause For Thought

Liberal MP Danna Vale reads the writing on the wall:

"... warned that Australia risks becoming a Muslim nation if women continued to abort children at the current rate.

"A certain imam from the Lakemba mosque actually says Australia is going to be a Muslim nation in 50 years time," Mrs Vale said.

"I didn't believe him at the time. But when you look at the birth rates ... we are aborting ourselves almost out of existence by 100,000 abortions every year. You multiply that by 50 years - that's 5 million potential Australians we won't have here."

Of course, Vale is 'just' a pro-lifer cheesed off that dangerous abortion pill RU-486 is about to be legalised in Australia.

Meanwhile, Islamic youths in Europe wear t-shirts with the phrase: "2030, then we take over" in reference to the negative Euro-birthrate.

Also meanwhile in Europe, Britain's parliament is to introduce national identity cards. A necessary instrument in times of war, to be sure, but have they the will to make them work?
