The morals which the “sexual revolution” considered to be “taboos” exist for a reason, Health Minister Tony Abbott told “The Australian.”
According to Abbott, even radical feminist leaders “are beginning to regret the dark consequences of sexual freedom.”
With 100,000 abortions per year and a divorce rate of 37%, Australia has decided to introduce legal changes to stop the destruction of the family. Among other things, the country has just approved a law that only accepts marriage between a man and a woman. The legislation excludes any other type of “union” and disregards the “unnatural marriages” that take place in other countries.
“The legacy of a permissive society, broken families, mental illnesses, suggests that the old ‘social taboos’ were somewhat right,” Abbott said.
