So
the Families Commission in sorting itself out under the Government’s White Paper
on Vulnerable Children has discovered ‘scandalous expenditure’. Maybe that’s a
consequence of the White Paper ignoring the extremely vulnerable children, in
the womb, which is now the most dangerous place for a child to be. In other
words, the Government is deceiving itself and its White Paper is a lie. We
pretend (inconsistently, as we concede it’s a child when it’s wanted) that the
unborn baby is an unborn something or other else. And as Sir Walter Scott said,
‘Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practise to deceive.’
While
my heart aches for women suffering the trauma of abortion, and for their whanau
– and given the numbers, very few families in New Zealand today are not affected
– the longer we keep up this pretence, the more women will be pressured into
abortion and everyone’s suffering prolonged.
