THE ONE-EYED MAN IS KING (Letter to Dom Post, Dec 17)


The headline ‘Lack of vision in laws over child vulnerability’ (Dec 17) might be described as the understatement of the year, and in earnestly posing the question ‘Will the Vulnerable Children’s Bill ... make a difference for New Zealand’s children?’ academics Cook, D’Souza and Edwards invite a reply not just in the negative but a resounding ‘No’. Media, academia and bureaucracy persist in their failure to see that the most vulnerable children in New Zealand are the unborn, legally and painfully killed by abortion in their thousands every year. One might say that New Zealand is the land described by Erasmus as the country of the blind, where the one-eyed man is king.
