Helen: what on Earth is an “optimal outcome”?
Splendid euphemism!

What is a person? What is the origin? What is the end of the person?
Failure to keep these questions in mind, clearly answered and pithily communicated tend to lead us on an ineffectual wild-goose chases after whack-a-mole policies.

Around and around in ever-widening circles we go chasing porn, abortion, suicide, gender, contraception, euthanasia, addiction, bullying, promiscuity, designer-babies, prostitution… because we don’t have a clear vision of our Catholic beginnings and ends. I think we have been suckered into playing the game by rules written by University politics and sociology departments.

A Real alternative unplanned pregnancies is ADOPTION.
The long term solution to domestic violence is the CENSORSHIP of TV programmes and the OUTLAWING of Porn.
Porn and domestic violence are linked in direct proportion.
Various other bureaucratic arrangements which involve funding can work around the fundamental: Pro-life.
Instead of addressing the issue from a social left stance (which always supports Marxism, and thus atheism),
simple courageous orthodoxy can be engaged.
Children are quick to pick up on adult attitudes.
It is much better to feed them HUMANAE VITAE, with a healthy dollop of martyrology and saints,
and support their beginnings, as they strive to witness as do those in the US., with their hundreds of thousands of marchers
through capital cities, and sticking up for the truth: PRO-LIFE

Restrictions on abortion do not reduce abortion rates.
Removing barriers to seeking care enables care providers to provide optimal care for pregnant people directed to the persons needs which allows all choices to have optimal outcomes for the person presenting.

A great presentation.

What strikes me is not that she is an Australian barrister/bioethicist/researcher, but rather the absence of Kiwis in the public square of the same caliber. There seems to be a substantial gap in our tertiary education strategy where the preponderance of Catholic Kiwi professionals don’t seem to have the same philosophical, theological, and apologetic substance to effectively advocate themselves in the square and oppose the death culture.
