‘Under hospital policy, a baby born earlier than 23 weeks would be left to
die’ (Party time for miracle baby, June 20). Note the terminology -
it’s ‘a baby’. This amounts to a tacit admission that it is in fact babies, not
‘blobs of tissue’ not even ‘just fetuses’, who in the same hospital are
routinely killed by abortion.
That throw-away line, in an otherwise delightful story about a cherished
baby born at that gestational age who’s now celebrating her first birthday, is
an utterly damning indictment of a selfish, materialistic and heartless
society.
