THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE (Letter to Dom Post, Feb 14)


We all know domestic violence (Letters, Feb 13) is not okay, but until we realise its root cause we’re stuck with it. 
 
The root of the word ‘domestic’ is ‘domus’ meaning ‘home’. Domestic violence happens in all kinds of homes, but our first home is common to all humankind.

It’s in our mother’s womb that we all lived in comfort, warmth and shelter, with food to meet every dietary requirement, for the first nine months of our lives. For the last forty years however, we’ve said it’s okay to invade that home and kill its rightful occupant. Until we implement the means to protect all parties - mothers, fathers and their unborn children - from the violence of abortion it will continue to infiltrate the workplace and the whole of society.
 
The single biggest factor in the cost to our economy of domestic and family violence of $8 billion a year is the primary violence of abortion.
