Brazilian Nightmare: World Cup, Spanking and Abortion
By Julio
Severo
For foreigners
coming to Brazil for the World Cup, this mega-football event often spells “sex
tourism.” But for Brazilians, it’s the old Roman appeasement politics of “bread
and circuses.” Give football to Brazilians and they will forget their social
and moral woes — at least for a while.
In the recent
few days, with Brazil under the spell of the World Cup, Brazilian hospitals had
been put under an order to make abortions easy. Under a new abortion law
approved immediately after the Pope’s visit last year, women can require
medical abortion by merely alleging rape — with no need of medical or police
evidence.
The order was
revoked by heavy pressure of Catholic groups and the Evangelical Parliamentary
Caucus.
Yet, other
planned woe had no such attention. For more than one decade, socialists in
Brazil have been working hard to ban parental spanking.
Their recent
efforts were successful in the Brazilian House of Representatives and in the
Brazilian Senate.
The strategy to
get it approved in the Brazilian Congress was to make a scandalous appeal, by
comparing parental spanking to child killing. This is interesting, because the
Brazilian government and socialist politicians endorse child killing — through
legal abortion. But if you say that abortion is murder, they will answer that
you are making a “scandalous appeal”!
Murder is
murder. Abortion is murder of children, but socialists reject such comparison.
Parental spanking is not murder, but socialists keep making such comparison.
Maria do
Rosário, the main anti-spanking activist, had been a “human rights” secretary
in the Rousseff administration, but she remained in office only until her
flaunting stance last year, by declaring that the “murder” of a young
homosexual was a “homophobic” crime. She inflamed it into a national scandal,
calling for harsh laws against “homophobic” people, pressuring law-enforcement
agencies to prioritize crimes against homosexuals, etc. She left the office
after it was found that the young homosexual did not have been murdered. He had
committed suicide after his male lover rejected him.
Yet, the case
against parental spanking was successful. Rosário and other socialists said
that child killing is provoked by parental spanking, and the Brazilian media
repeated the mantra to all Brazilians. The victory came after a Brazilian boy
was murdered by his father and stepmother, and the socialist chorus began:
“Parental spanking amounts to murder.”
The
Congressional hearings had other scandalous appeals. Xuxa — a Brazilian
television presenter, film actress, singer and businesswoman — was invited to
back the anti-spanking bill. What does Xuxa have to teach Brazilian parents? In
fact, why is she so engaged in a bill aimed at seizing parental rights and
destroying their decisions over their children?
Xuxa has no
acceptable parental example. By choice, she has never been married, but she has
been a lover of several men. She has only a daughter and for this pregnancy,
she chose a man just for her to have a child. Nothing else. By her choice, her
daughter was brought up without her father.
In 1982, as a
19-year-old, Xuxa appeared in the Brazilian movie “Amor Estranho Amor” (Love
Strange Love). Her role was to seduce a 12-year-old boy. The scene contained
eroticism and pedophilia: a nude young woman with a nude boy in the bed.
Xuxa has never
served time in prison for her pedophilic act. On the contrary, in the 1980s she
had her nude body as a cover picture in the Brazilian Playboy magazine.
Parents who
murder their children should be punished. People who encourage pedophilia
through movies should be punished. Parents who spank their children, with a rod
or a slap, should not be treated as criminals, especially under the bad example
of a woman with no moral guidance and parental example.
The Brazilian
tragedy is that since Brazil became a signatory of the UN Convention on the
Rights of the Child in 1990, there is no legal punishment for criminals under
18 years old. Minors can beat and murder their parents, and there will be no
jail or sentence. Just special rehabilitation. Law-enforcement agents are
prohibited from treating as criminal minors who rape, assault and murder.
Days ago a
Brazilian man, who is an Assembly of God minister today, told me that he was an
city official supervising troubled minors in Brazil. He told that it was a
nightmare, because they dealt with 15, 16 and 17-year olds who raped and
murdered, but legally they were unpunishable. Their state rehabilitation was a failure.
The minister told me that less than 4% had some improvement. Today he lives in
America, where he told me he has seen criminals treated as criminals,
regardless their age.
I also prefer
the U.S. system, because, where conservatism is predominant, is less barbaric
than the legal system in Brazil. Other Brazilian friend of mine, who is a
Presbyterian minister in Texas, told me that when he was going to spank his
son, he said, “If you spank me, I will denounce you to police!” In Brazil, this
is enough to make a parent frightened. But the wise father himself called and
police came. After hearing the boy and the father, the policeman just
instructed the father on the better ways to use a slipper or belt to punish the
boy. Needless to say, the boy never again wanted police involved.
Thank God, this
was Texas, not Brazil! Texas, which is more conservative than other more
liberal U.S. states where parents also face risks, is a place I would
definitely choose to live, if they intend to keep pursuing a social life free
from UN insanities!
In contrast, the
Evangelical Parliamentary Caucus (EPC), which is a pro-life force in the
Brazilian Congress, has made a repulsive deal with the government and its
socialist supporters to have the anti-spanking bill passed. Many of the members
of the EPC are socialists too. The Catholic Church in Brazil, for many years
backing socialist measures in Brazil, has made no opposition to the government
efforts to confiscate parental rights over the spanking issue.
This is the
Brazilian nightmare: children and teens who assault, rape and murder are
legally unpunishable.
This is the
Brazilian nightmare: parents who spank, with a rod or a slap, to try to hinder
their children and teens from becoming criminals who assault, rape and murder
will be legally punishable, and they will be treated as criminals and child
killers, while the real child killers (abortionists) will be legally
unpunishable.
There is no epidemics of children murdered by parents
in Brazil. But there is an epidemics of children and teens raping, assaulting
and murdering. As ever, unpunishable.
Psychopathic socialists and their laws in Brazil
essentially say: “Do not spank your children to hinder them from becoming
criminals. Abort them! We allow you to abort them, but not to discipline them,
ok?”
Try to
homeschool your children in Brazil, and the government will ferociously go
after you. Spank them, and there will be no state pardon. But make their
criminal ways easy, and you will be left alone.
Visit São Paulo or
other big city in Brazil and you will see a sad picture: an 8-year old girl or
boy begging in the streets, day or night, while the Brazilian government is
very busy chasing spanking parents.
The World Cup
helps Brazilians forget momentarily their social nightmare.
