News / Abortion still under control in Poland - part 2 [383]

as a devout Catholic he cannot justifiably argue that one life is worth more than another

The law-givers have full right to administer death penalty. It says in the Bible about the authorities in power: "if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer" (Romans 13:4). St. Paul affirms the legitimate authority of state/civil rulers to execute justice, even by capital punishment, and in traditional Catholicism the death penalty has historically been considered morally permissible in principle.

Of course, after the lamentable Vaticanum Secundum (which, luckily, was a pastoral not a dogmatic council, so I am not obligated to believe any of its commie/mason nonsense) the Church made a mistake of allowing itself to be infuenced by masons, protestants, leftards and other retards, and shifted its position to anti death penalty. Thank God, most conservatists (aka sane people) in Poland support death penalty and rightly so. We hope and pray that our Mother Church will one day abandon its modernist ways and go back to conservatist, traditional teaching on capital punishment.

Arguing from the Bible leads nowhere.

Hey, if Paulina can argue from some "Rabbinical Assembly Committee", then I can argue from the Bible. :)

You're right - religion is not necessary in this argument. Common, ordinary human decency should be enough.

But Ron has a very good point there - every morality and every moral law must have its source in God (or at least in something outside itself) or it is ultimately worthless.

There are people who don't believe in God Almighty.

I know - the Bible speaks about such people: "The fool says in his heart, "There is no God."" (Ps 53).

Bible doesn't prohibit anywhere an intentional abortion

It also doesn't prohibit using 155mm artillery ammunition to shell civilian buildings nor the use of atomic weapons. It does, however, prohibit murder.

Rabbinic Judaism doesn't consider a fetus a full human being

... and - although it may shock you - it isn't the only thing that rabbinic Judaism gets wrong. :)

--------------

Anyways, I can see that arguing with people who think that crime of the father justifies murdering the baby, or that the mother's psychological well-being or feelings (or questions that she may be asked!) also justify the murder of the child, makes no sense at all. They are so brainwashed by the hedonistic civilisation of death that logic, common sense and ordinary human decency is totally wasted on them.

The only consolation is that most of them don't have children, so sooner or later they will all collect their well deserved Darwin Awards by dying childless and not passing on their anti-values to the next generation. How wise is our God! :)

It might be if

Oh... it MIGHT ... IF...

Yes, this 'might' and 'if' convinced me - the child should be murdered.

how a women is feeling (...) asked questions

Oh, yes... FEELINGS... QUESTIONS...

Yes, these 'feelings' and 'questions' convinced me - the child should be murdered.

Do you even think before you write or do you just type whatever words happen to form in your brain at a given moment? FFS...

children who are made by rape or have other disabilities

Yes, those couples are willing to adopt even children conceived (not made, you half-wit) in a rape, and it's not a disability.

You people are not normal. Something is wrong with your hearts and souls... something very wrong.

the lifelong trauma and pain comes from having an abortion

Exactly.

It's definitely not easy to recover from the trauma of being raped but it takes a special kind of idiocy to try and "solve" the problem by adding another trauma of murdering your own child on top of it. Mind boggles.

So you don't believe in genetics...

I believe in genetics, I just don't think that a murder of a child is justified because someone draws a conclusion that it will grow up to be a rapist or a murderer because of its father's genes (raging nonsense).

you think rapists should be rewarded

With long time in prison for the first crime and with a death sentence for another - surely you can read and I already wrote it.

I don't think of early (first two months esp) abortion as 'murder'

What about first two years? What about first two decades? It is not for a human to decide when another human's life starts and when he/she can be murdered.

and neither do anti-abortion people unless they want to prosecute the woman and abortion provider for murder

Of course they should be prosecuted. Abortion providers with full force of the law, and in case of the raped woman her pain and trauma should be considered mitigating circumstances but there should be a trial for murder nonetheless.

a cluster of cells

Aaah, so here we are. I thought I was talking to a woman named Paulina but apparently I am talking to God Almighty who can decide whether somebody is or isn't a human being.

Not everyone is religious

It's not about religion. Novichok isn't especially religious, is he? And still he is of the same opinion. You are either for life or for death, victory of love or victory of hatred, sacrifice or selfishness. It's about being a human being, not a walking alimentary tract.

children "from rape" may often not get that

Oh, yes - so let's kill them. For crying out loud... :-/

Will you adopt them?

There are many couples waiting for the opportunity to adopt a child (especially a newborn or a toddler). Imagine how they feel hearing of the abortion tourism and women travelling to neighbouring countries to kill their children instead of giving them for adoption.

Did you talk to your wife about it?

As a matter of fact I did. My wife is a good Christian and she is of the same opinion.

the well-being of your wife or daughter

Having a child is not against a well-being of a woman. It can even bring her unspeakable joy.

Provided you don't murder it.

women who aren't capable of loving

Then let such woman give the child for adoption. The baby will bring the couple who waited for such opportunity much happiness in life.

Provided you don't murder it.

violent behaviour is actually passed down in the genes

Quite possible. That's why children need good nurture to properly utilise their natural inclinations. Such child can grow up to be a great soldier, police officer or a boxing olympic champion.

Provided you don't murder it.

You see, that's what it all boils down to: you don't murder innocent children...

- not for their fathers' crimes,
- not because they might cause someone a trauma,
- not because they are unwanted by their biological mothers

... not for any reason in fact.

You just don't murder children.

It is terrifying that one even has to say such thing.

I put the women's life above fetus in early stages

But the woman's life is not in danger. What are you talking about?

You'd keep a kid of a man who raped your wife?

Yes, I would, I am not a child murderer, and I would raise it to be a good man/woman.

I might feel tempted to murder the rapist, but not the child. Who do you take me for? A bloodthirsty beast who would murder an innocent child for something that its father did?

isn't her baby, because she didn't consent to it

Surely you can see that it's illogical.

give out the rapists' seed with his faulty genes

Don't be such a nazi! It is mostly nurture not nature that makes a human being. I know great and honest people whose fathers were criminals. Stop this Waffen-SS "faulty genes" talk, Paulina.

men just don't get raped often enough

That's a very sexist thing to say. Tsk-tsk...

the mother of that baby is that rapists victim

Erm... let me get this straight: person A is a victim of person B, therefore it is a legitimate reason to kill person C? Is that what you're saying?

News / Abortion still under control in Poland - part 2 [383]

You are suggesting that women who become pregnant following rape should carry the baby to term and have it adopted.

Or keep it. It is, after all, also her baby - unwanted, yes, but her baby nonetheless.

this is your stance on the matter

That would be my stance if it happened to my daughter. We are not murderers - neither my daughter nor me.

is a legitimate reason for an abortion

Erm... it is a legitimate reason to murder a baby because its father is a rapist? WTF? What about fathers who kill people in car accidents or fathers who don't fill their tax declarations - should their children be held responsible for their crimes too? Or is rape the only crime of a father for which the child should pay (with its life!). The mental retardation that the abandoning of Christian faith and the civilisation of death causes is terrifying.

EDIT:

Of course, rapists should be punished very severely. Long term prison sentences for the first crime, and then the death penalty but for the rapist not for the child!

Step 1

We have such law in Poland... and one of the lowest birthrates in Europe.

I have a better idea: decrease obligatory employer's ZUS/health service contribution by 30% for the first child of an employee, 60% for the second, and 100% for the third. It would mean that people with children will be much more attractive on the job market and will have more stable jobs.

Introduce generous child benefits and tax reliefs for parents. Stop persuading childless parasites to have children - they should be allowed to discontinue their retarded genes - just tax them more and work on those who already have children, so they decide to have more of them.

Another benefit of such system would be that it might force the childless to take their stench of death with them and emigrate. This way the society would consist almost exclusively of people who have children (the more the better).

Also, in popular culture, mass media, and higher culture pro-natalist attitudes have to be promoted and presented in best possible light.

If we apply all this, then Satan - with his hedonistic, retarded culture of death - will run away with his tail between his legs. So help us God.

Poland is already struggling with the refugees that have arrived so far from Ukraine

No, we're not. We have record-low unemployment despite all the Ukrainians here.

most battle-hardened soldiers on the European continent

The most battle-hardened soldiers are already dead after 3 years of the war of attrition. Every month they are replaced by new conscripts of ever declining quality.

they view Russia as an ally

Russia doesn't care how they view her. Without NATO protection Germany would be vulnerable. AfD wouldn't risk that.

How would that be in Poland's interest... let's see...

Millions of Ukrainian refugees would travel to Poland (and not allowed into Germany ofc)

Poland is in the state of demographic collapse; millions of white, Slavic Christians would be a blessing.

Poland has also now a long border from Kaliningrad to Lwiv with Russia and its' proxies.

Poland's border with Ukraine is shorter than our border with Slovakia, so it wouldn't extend the border that much. Besides, neo-banderist Ukraine where Waffen-SS units and UPA genocide perpetrators are still celebrated as heroes is not necessarily a friendly country. The collapse of Ukraine, or more likely the creation of a smaller and weaker Ukraine, would not necessarily be bad for Poland.

supporting Poland/Eastern Europe would become next to impossible without Germany

As far as I know there have been some voices of criticism of NATO from AfD politicians but, as a national party, it has not adopted a formal policy of leaving NATO and I don't think they ever will (Russia is too unpredictable, as we have seen, for them to risk such move).

why are Russians willing to make good relations with Germany but Poland is unable/unwilling to?

It's easier for Russians - you are not seen as a threat to them. If Poland had the largest territory and the largest nuclear arsenal in the world, it would also be easier to be friendly with Germany for us.

As it is, your economic and political advantage are still seen as a threat. Not to mention that you commemorated everyone and their grandmother who suffered from the German hands in WW2, but Polish victims of the war still haven't been properly commemorated by Germany, 80 years after the war ended.

Also, German society is mostly modern and liberal whilst Poles are conservatives and more religious. Not many common platforms of understanding there.

If certain conditions are met, Poland and Germany could establish a profound understanding.

... and it would to have to be a lot of conditions: the Central Transportation Hub, navigation on the Oder River, the expansion of the port in Świnoujście, even the exploitation of newly discovered oil deposits in the Baltic Sea - are all developments that certain circles in Germany do not approve of and even complain about. Add to this all the mental ecotardation of the EU: no combustion cars since 2035, the CO2 emissions trading system (ETS) that is stifling our economy, Fit for 55, the Green Deal, the Mercosur deal that can destroy our farming, the metan directives for mines, EU Taxonomy Regulation - limiting cheap gas, nuclear and coal energy... I could go on.

Sometimes it seems that any sort of common sense agreement with Berlin-Brussels is impossible.

Poland definitely needs to change its medial tune

German medial tune towards Poland is not all rosy either. Maybe AfD could change that... provided they don't get too cosy with Russia.

A very interesting article by Jarosław Lindenberg in the latest issue of "Do Rzeczy"...

dorzeczy.pl/kraj/758058/niemcy-nie-takie-straszne-mateusz-morawiecki-sie-myli.html

... the author argues that AfD's program is largely aligned with Poland's strategic interests, and that if AfD were to form a government in Germany in the future, we would gain a very strong ally in the fight against threats to our national sovereignty (namely, transforming the EU into a European superstate and uncontrolled mass migration). Lindenberg also writes that AfD has the highest proportion of Polish-speaking politicians among German parties and that during the PiS government it was the only German party in the European Parliament that systematically and publicly defended Poland against accusations of violating the rule of law. After Tusk became the PM, representatives of Alternative for Germany (the most well-known being Tomasz Froelich, a politician of Polish descent) repeatedly spoke out on Polish issues and accused the European Commission of applying double standards depending on who is in power in Poland.

If Poland moves right in the 2027 elections (I'd say there's about 95% chance of that happening), and AfD enters government in Germany, then it might mean the opening of a new and very interesting chapter in Polish-German relations.

They have no capacity to admit any wrongdoing (...) they are Elves. Elves are perfect

Tell me about it.

That's exactly what a certain lovely Khrystyna was explaining to me passionately: that they never invaded anyone, never hurt anyone, were only fighting invaders in their lands, and only defending what was always theirs. And you know what... she had a brother on the frontline, was in a foreign country, and had some Polish girls being not exactly nice to her at work (envy!)... and I - the stalwart Kania, the Polish-to-the-core Torq, the anti-banderist legend of Gdańsk and beyond...

It cannot provide the same "brain f*ck" as Catholicism or Orthodoxy can.

Hmm... debatable.

The Arabic language somehow magically clings to your memory once you memorize something in it. I still remember some prayers (for various occasions) that Ahmed taught me about 20 years ago, and I suppose praying 5 times a day, at set times, with all those regular movements and rhytmic incantations, can properly affect your brain as well. Not to mention that Muslims have some top class and highly intelligent preachers (Khalid Yasin, Ali Hammuda, Mufti Menk, Hamza Yusuf, Hakim Murad - to name just a few).

I don't especially like Islam and Muslim immigrants in Europe (self preservation instinct, I guess) but one has to admit that they do what God ordered us to do - be fruitful and multiply. So, maybe they are right and we are wrong... may Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) have mercy on me if that's the case.

Internet and forums like this one are therapeutic...

Safety vent :)
