latest comment from pm, 16/10/2019 17:39: Kurzita ta. Dan il-bniedem flimkien ma huh jidhirli li kienu qalulna li ma jahdmux, Jigifieri ma ghandhomx entratura ta' paga. Hlief, probablli, xi cekk socjali ta; disimpjieg. Issa biex tiftah kawza trid il-belli liri. Nistaqsi. Min qed ihallas dawn il-belli liri ghal kawza? U ovvja mistoqsija ohra: minn qed ihallas il belli liri lill avukat difensur (ghax minghalija dan l-avukat mhux mahtur mil-Qorti).

The premiere of ‘Unplanned’: the depiction of truth or anti-abortion propaganda?

The premiere of the anti-abortion movie ‘Unplanned’ has caused sparks and controversy amongst keyboard warriors.  ‘Unplanned’ will premiere in Malta at St. James Cavalier...

latest comment from Gerry Cowie, 16/10/2019 19:21: What we know for sure is that the pro death pro abortion lobby relies heavily on spin and sarcasm in an attempt to convince others that the killing of the unborn is nothing more than a little "operation". If one examines the comments which appear both in social media and in the comments columns, one will find that they come from a small number of people who have no particular interest in this country. To quote Mr Oosterman below, "one wonders why" they pro abortion lobby relies on misinformation, half truth, lies, spin and sarcasm, not to mention those who deny the most basic science surrounding human reproduction. One wonders why anybody would claim, against all science, that the unborn are "meaningless clumps of cells, worth no more respect than drops of blood", Mr Oosterman! One wonders whether he ever asked his own dear parents if they announced him in the womb as "a baby" or "a meaningless clump of cells", Those who wish to deny their own humanity are free to do so, but they only include themselves.

latest comment from Francis Saliba MD, 16/10/2019 15:40: Fake "Confucius" is so confused that my surname, that I spell correctly as S-a-l-i-b-a, he "says" is "Farrugia". My version of Mintoff's six points is that given by MLP Minister Lino Spiteri in his memoir "Jien u Ghaddej fil-Politika". Lino Spiteri was the person chosen by Mintoff himself to defend his six true points in the Labour press. (vide footnote in page 91) You are the one who is mistaken. And prudently I do not accuse you of writing lies but only of making silly mistakes and of swallowing and repeating MLP propaganda.
