I don’t suppose women start out in life with the expectation of ending it,
either for their unborn children by abortion, or for their born children at one
remove by exposing them in their own homes to ‘stranger danger’ in the shape of
their latest ‘partner’ (Mum told new partner to leave crying infant,
June 16).
It’s our throw-away culture which inures them to this lifestyle. If you
don’t want your unborn child, get rid of it. If you don’t like your ‘partner’,
get another one.
In sedulously avoiding any discussion around commitment and marriage –
except for celebrating 70th wedding anniversaries, which reinforces the idea
that marriage is passe - the media remind me of the biblical Gadarene swine,
rushing to destruction. Because it’s proven that children (and so also our
society) have the best outcomes, even in avoiding poverty, when their parents
are married.
