Dutch Official - Abort Arubans

Good thing she didn't say Muslims, ay?

A health official in the Netherlands has called for a debate on the idea of forced abortion and contraception to deal with what she sees as a crisis of unwanted children.

Alderman Marianne van den Anker of the Leefbaar Rotterdam Party wants specifically to target communities of Antilleans and Arubans where she sees the biggest problems of unwanted children....

According to the report, Van den Anker said children from these groups run an "unacceptable risk" of growing up without love and with "violence, neglect, mistreatment and sexual abuse."

"The exceptions," she said, "and there are some, can be counted on a pair of hands."

Just read this a second ago - guess people were right when they said permissive life choices would lead to this. Might be too bad Van Der Sloot isn't Aruban in this case. "bad-bad" - I didn't say that!

Madame Von Hitler of the Netherlands. This makes me ill.

How about using the clinic to dispense birth control and to educate? NAH, that's too simple.

Drug addicts and prostitues should not be having children. Mandatory tubes tied.

The problem is that most dutch people don't even know the diffrence between Arubans and Antilleans!! Gosh, most of them don't even know that we are part of the dutch kingdom. And that we have dutch passport. That is why our Gov. doesn't get a long that well with the Dutch Gov.

She did not mention arubaans. And by mentioning Dutch Antilles she means : curacao, bonaire, sint maarten, sint eustatius en saba

This is a homosexual Dutch lady in a party well on the decline in Rotterdam. The party used to be Pim Fortuyns' backyard and think they can blurt out anything and make policy of it.

I guess my position stems from if you don't play the game don't bother making the rules.

Well after the general city council elections next 7th of March don't be surprised the lady uttered her last political belch as the party will be more than halved. The regular parties went along with this horrendous type of policy-making as they were afraid to lose their critical mass. Well they are all going back to square one.
