NATIONAL'S "ARDENT PRACTISING CATHOLICS" AND IT'S EUTHANASIA POLICY(Letter to Dompost, July 19)


A moment’s quiet reflection (which “ardent, practising Catholics” find easy, because they do it regularly) would tell John McLean (July 18) that the argument against euthanasia, like that against abortion, hasn’t necessarily anything to do with religion, but a lot to do with common sense.
 
A little more reflection would reveal that Catholics are also doctrinally opposed to abortion - which was introduced in New Zealand under a National Government. So much for McLean’s “simple lesson”on National Party policy making.

Not simple so much as simplistic. In the extreme.
