Family First Comment: Great decision. And NZ will do likewise.
But it’s amusing reading the bias of the reporter.

After 1400 submission, scores of expert appearances and public hearings, Queensland’s Parliamentary inquiry into abortion law reform has rejected a bill to decriminalise abortion across the state.

Cairns Independent MP Rob Pyne, who introduced the Women’s Right to Choose bill in May, said the decision was politically motivated and that it was “disappointing that some of the politicians can’t be a little more courageous in their approach to some reform”.

However, chairwoman and Labor MP Leanne Linard said careful consideration was given to the complex issues in regulating termination of pregnancy.

“The committee was unable to support the Bill as it failed to address a number of important policy issues and to achieve a number of its own stated objectives,” she said.

Far from being a fatal blow to the process to end antiquated laws that prevent women from seeking terminations to pregnancies, academics agreed, suggesting recommendations were made on constructive grounds and that the “door to reform is not closed”.

Why ‘polyamory’ is becoming popular – Media pushes the agenda

polyamory - 2 wivesThree isn’t a crowd as polyamory gets popular
Stuff co.nz 30 August 2016
Family First Comment: Yep – as predicted. And typical that stuffed.co.nz is helping push the narrative.

There’s another sexual revolution coming, a hip new bedroom trend the early adopters are just loving. Keep your pants on, it’s time to talk about polyamory.

Polyamory simply means “many loves” and it is not, according to its ever-widening circle of passionate supporters, polygamy, one man with multiple wives, nor is it swinging or partner-swapping.

The idea is simply that no single relationship can possibly fulfil all your needs, if you’re honest with yourself, so you are free to explore one or more relationships, with the full knowledge and consent of everyone involved.

LOVE IS ALL AROUND
So Claire might be married to Barry but she visits her boyfriend Simon three nights a week. His girlfriend Sasha doesn’t mind because she also lives a polyamory lifestyle.

“There’s a preconception that one person can be everything for you and that person will make you happy and one person will fulfil all your dreams and that one person can be there all the time for you and they’re never going to need something that you can’t give them,” polyamorist Laura told the ABC.

“You can love as many people as you can love. Nobody says you can’t love all your children or your parents,” she says, “but you can only love one person and be happy with one person? It seems illogical.”
