LETTERS TO THE DOM POST, October 2013


How ironic that President Obama should offer assistance to a pregnant woman who’d begun to faint (Website glitches hold up Obamacare rollout, Oct 23). His ‘Obamacare’ offers assistance of another, sinister kind in requiring all institutions and companies to provide insurance cover for abortions, rejecting any conscientious objections and enforcing draconian financial penalties for civil disobedience.

KEEPING PREGGIES AWAKE AT NIGHT (Printed in Dom Post Points, Oct 25): 

That’s right. Give the poor preggies something else to keep them awake at night (Poor sleep a danger to pregnancy, Oct 23). Nothing keeps you awake better than the worry of not being able to sleep.

EMULATING THE NETHERLANDS  (Printed in Dom Post, Oct 20)

Let me assure Coroner Ian Smith, MP Maryan Street and End of Life Choice president Don Grant that no matter how many heart-rending accounts are ‘reported’ as sob stories in the Dominion Post about voluntary deaths self-administered or otherwise, euthanasia is abhorred by anyone who thinks as opposed to emoting.

Thinking people predicted the consequences of legalising abortion, and what a Pandora’s box that was. Now that we’ve aborted a number equivalent to the population of Canterbury we have ‘pro-choice’ psychology professor David Fergusson admitting that far from rescuing women from depression and possible suicide, ‘abortions lead to mental health issues’, and Linda Holloway, chair of the fraudulent Abortion Supervisory Committee, admitting that if we change that law now, ‘we might end up with something worse than what we have got’ (my emphasis).

Does New Zealand really want to emulate the Netherlands, where 27% of doctors admit to euthanasing their patients without approval, where you can order up a mobile euthanasing clinic, and where two and a half times more people were euthanased in 2011 than in 2008?

According to Grant, ‘when it comes to dying everybody buries their head in the sand’. Just who is the ostrich here?
