MEPs take up fight against misappropriation of European Social Fund – full video

~ Lieber Augustin

Pro-Life MEPs and activists have expressed mixed feelings with regard to the Commission’s reply to the aborton initiative “My Voice My Choice” in a public debate held at the premises of the European Parliament in Strasbourg on Wednesday. MEP Matej Tonin from Slovenia and Ségolène du Closel of ONE OF US were very upbeat, pointing out thet the pro-aborts had lost on all accounts: There will be no special fund to fnance abortion tourism, there will be no extra money for abortion, they have not been able to force the Commission to do anything. And despite all their money from dark sources, despite spending ten times more per statement of support, they collected far less signatures than ONE OF US did in 2014, which shows that the pro-life position has much more support among EU citizens than the abortion agenda, however potent its financiers and political clout may be.

Dutch MEP asks: will European Social Fund money soon be used to track and kill babies with Down Syndrome?

~ Lieber Augustin

The statistics are remarkable.

  • 99% of those surveyed are happy with their lives.
  • 97% answered yes to the question, “Do you like who you are?”
  • 99% agreed with the statement, “Do you love your family?”

Do you know of any group of people, of any economic status, educational level, age, ethnicity, or geographic region that approaches those percentages? Who are these happy people?

The hypocrisy surrounding ‘unsafe abortion’

~ Lieber Augustin

In its statement on the ‘My Voice, My Choice’ abortion initiative, the European Commission argues that ‘unsafe abortions’ pose a danger to women, which must be countered by misappropriating funds from the European Social Fund to finance abortions. What a hypocritical argument! The Commission uncritically makes its own the propaganda rhetoric of the abortion industry, which immediately collapses like a house of cards when seriously examined. Only fools fall for this lie – and those who, because they have a political or commercial interest in the legalisation of abortion, just pretend to believe it.

Children as commodities? Conference calls for global ban on surrogacy

~ Lieber Augustin

Experts from the fields of medicine, law, ethics, politics and media met in Berlin on 6 March, shortly before International Women’s Day, to raise public awareness of a global billion-pound business: the business of female fertility and children as products.

“International Women’s Day”: ideological feminism is not interested in the well-being of women

~ Lieber Augustin

On 8 March, the media and politicians bombard us with statements about ‘International Women’s Day’, a secular holiday that was first celebrated in the Soviet Union in the 1920s and now, a hundred years later, suddenly seems to play a major role in the EU’s official calendar of celebrations. Is this a sign of a certain kindred spirit?

Ideological feminism is perpetuated and institutionalised by these celebrations, just as it is by the appointment of (almost always female) ‘equality ministers’ in almost all governments, or a dedicated ‘equality commissioner’ in the European Union.

If abortion is “healthcare”, then everything can be everything.

~ Lieber Augustin

In its reply to the ECI “My Voice, My Choice”, the European Commission has spent a considerable amount of paper and ink in order to demonstrate that abortion is “healthcare”, and that the European Social Fund (ESF+) can be used to fund abortions. But while that reasoning is lengthy, it mainly proves things that do not need to be proven, while it fails to adduce convincing arguments where they would have been necessary. Very conspicuously, while abundantly citing from documents that have little relevance to the matter, the Commission avoids citing the only extant legal definition of “healthcare” within the EU legal order, one that makes a clear link between “healthcare” and the purpose and intention of restoring someones health. This omission is probably not a mere oversight or coincidence, but deliberate: whatever is not supportive of the Commission’s point of view is simply left out, treated as if it didn’t exist.

But if abortion is not “healthcare”, then the use of ESF+ money to finance abortion is clearly illegal – with all the implications and consequences that this may lead to.
