This is the headline of op-ed piece in today's Scotland on Sunday. I spat out my coffee reading it. Un-fucking-believable. Why is the Scotsman group inviting his opinion in their paper? Who the hell is he?

His Twitter feed is: @GeraldWarner1

Link to article:

m.scotsman.com/scotland-on-sunday/opinion/comment/gerald-warner-feminism-driving-holocaust-of-abortion-1-2936455

I am sorry but I don't know how to make a clickable link on my phone. Can anyone convert it for me, please?

Btw my opinion is its her body and NHS should fund it because NHS is meant to protect the health of everyone.

through "some people menthink like this^
Obviously some women don't think like this.
Feminist complain about subtle sexism but then become hypocrite about it.

Opinions on abortion
Actually most men AND women support abortion.

Another rhetoric I often hear: porn is rape/abuse

I'm not shocked that someone holds these opinions. There are many 'swivel eyed loons' out there. My shock is that The Scotsman published it.

The mother's body may well end up "shredded" (or parts of it anyway) or permanently damaged in other ways, and yes the mother may end up incinerated.

People like this really see pregnancy and childbirth as a zero-risk endeavour don't they. Which is why no-one with an ounce of common sense should take them seriously.

Not on this board arse.

This is disgraceful, it genuinely terrifies me that people men think like this. I bet Jeremy Hunt didn't spit his coffee out when he read it.
Thank god we have these men around to help us make educated decisions about our bodies. Hmm

"Abortion is murder, Abortion is genocide" is similar to the rhetoric that's sometimes used here or any other movement.

No response from the newspaper to my complaint on Twitter.

Presumably next week, in the interests of balance, they will be having an op-ed piece by a leading voice in the pro-choice movement? I mean of course they will.

Ah Catholicism - a dark land of "Fathers, brothers, sisters" and no "Mothers".

"What hope for humanity if mother love is extinguished?"
Bollocks! And a slap in the face to (I suspect) the majority of women who have abortions who are either already loving, caring mothers, or go on to become so when the time is right.

Where does this persistent myth that abortions are performed so late that foetuses are being "shredded and incinerated" come from, anyway? That happens in a tiny less-than-one percentage of cases, and nearly always for medical reasons. Most aborted foetuses are a microscopic bundle of non-differentiated cells.

Oh, I know, because it's far more emotive to picture a fully-formed baby being tortured.

Ah, poor shredded baby, awful feckless murdering so-called-mother.

Yeah, and how exactly would he feel if he had a baby he had no interest/ability/money/means/support to raise were suddenly dumped on his doorstep with no out clause? Let alone having to incubate and eject this person from his own body at great personal pain and difficulty first.

FFS. How DARE he!

Makes me feel a bit sick. "Mother love" "abattoir". On second thoughts makes me feel very sick. Sensationalist, deliberately provocative, claptrap.

Although just seen on twitter that he has 99 followers. So not exactly a leading voice there...
