This is particularly interesting in the context of the utterly bizarre frenzy over the Field/Dorries amendment.
A few years ago two women were invited on to a Polish current affairs programme to comment on the introduction of compulsory sex education for schoolchildren. One was Joanna Najfeld, who in the course of the discussion said the following apropos a woman known precisely for her campaigning to bring about more abortions:
“Ms Nowicka’s organisation is part of an international concern, generally one of the largest, of providers of contraception and abortion. Ms Nowicka is on their payroll. “
Nowicka took the young publicist to court for this statement. Today Joanna Najfeld was cleared of defamation. The party bringing the charge has to allow the proceedings to be public – which Nowicka has not done.
The financial aspect is so obviously suspicious in the case of the abortion and contraception business that it is very odd that the libertarian bloggers who so eagerly sniff out this sort of dodginess in other cases (see fakecharities.org) didn’t worry about it in the case of the Field/Dorries amendment. Though when one considers people have been programmed to equate prolife=Nazi, it’s probably not that odd.

Which organisation is she on the payroll of? This certainly needs more publicity.

I went through a phase of reading blogs of women who worked in the abortion industry. The phase was pretty short-lived; it made me physically nauseous. One of them claimed (if I’m remembering right, I’d rather not go back to the website to check) that she could earn more delivering pizza. If that’s true, then it’s even weirder that Marie Stopes can afford prime-time advertising on Channel 4. I wonder hoe much
I had a look at that fake charities website. It states that taxation is form of (and I quote) extortion and that partially tax-funded charities are “colluding in theft.” I had a mini-panic that this is what we’re actually supposed to believe (which would be weird) but render unto Caesar etc. Also find it weird that charities are only “colluding in theft” if they “steal” 10% of their income or more.
