A Buddhist monk known for his support for LGBT+ rights has sparked outrage among conservatives after he called for Thailand to decriminalise abortion.

Phra Shine Waradhammo was among about 20 pro-choice activists who protested in front of the Thai parliament this week, calling for all penalties to be revoked for women who choose to terminate a pregnancy.

“People were calling me ‘garbage’ and a ‘hungry ghost in a saffron robe’ on Facebook,” the 52-year-old monk said on Friday, referring to comments under a photo of him holding a “stop condemning abortion” placard at the demonstration.

Gee, why would a supporter of "LGBT+" rights also support abortion?

I mean: Why would he care what "breeders" do or don't do?

A real conundrum...

If they find him guilty of a felony for this he would be a felonious monk...

I had a young Buddhist monk verbally attacking me recently on Facebook.

I went to his profile and copied his picture into the comment responding to him. It said, “The eyes are the window to the soul and reflect its contents. Look into your eyes and you will not like what you see. That is the source of your anger.”

Dead silence after that. Never did hear from him.

This was earlier this week.

Liberal secular globalists are not respecters of Third World cultures. They are universal destroyers.
