The following letter was printed in the Sunday Star-Times on June 26. The text in italics was edited out.
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. And
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?
