MOST WANTED CHILDREN NOT TO BE HAD (Letter published in Dom Post Dec 20)


At Christmas time, when the whole world celebrates the marvel of birth, the plight of women unable to conceive is particularly poignant. So why are Fertility funds falling short (December 19)?
Back in the day, infertility was rare. Now, because of abortion and delayed childbearing, it’s common. Back then women could decide to adopt, and that decision alone not infrequently resulted in pregnancy. Now, because of abortion, there are no babies to adopt.
‘Every child a wanted child’. That was one of the ALRANZ catch-cries, and unwanted children were done away with. Isn’t it ironic that as a result of that policy the most wanted children are not to be had.
