ANTI-TOBACCO AND ANTI-OBESITY IS FINE BUT WHAT ABOUT ANTI-ABORTION? (Letter published - edited - in Sunday Star-Times, June 26)



Child abusers make Children’s Commissioner Russell Wills feel sick. Me too. But what makes me sicker is that a Children’s Commissioner can’t see the connection between abusing children we can see and children we can’t. 11 week-old Chris and Cru Kahui suffered head injuries and broken bones, and so do 11 week-old unborn children, who are just as human.
The reason “why communities accept violence by men against women and children” is, we accept violence also by women against women and children. In abortion women do violence also to themselves - physically, emotionally and spiritually.
The rise in child abuse is logically linked to the rise in abortion. If it’s okay to abuse a child before it’s born, it’s okay to abuse it after.
But although you can be anti-tobacco or anti-obesity, who in the health industry is willing to stick their head above the parapet and be anti-abortion?
