Dalrymple reports in the Salisbury Review that the (ironically-named) French Superior Council on Equality has proposed a new government website and telephone line to inform women about abortion:
…perhaps the employees of this job-creation scheme will be paid to reach a couple of targets: 80 per cent of French women to have an abortion during their lifetime, say, and 445,000 abortions a year to be performed.
If those targets are reached, we will know that the helpline had been necessary all along, and was not merely another scheme to create work for the unskilled overeducated – while at the same time rendering the population just a tiny bit less independent.
Note: This piece has since been renamed”What Every Woman Knows”.
