“Part of the conversation needed about suicide in the community”
(Number of suicides rises for third year, August 28), is discussion
around the abortion factor. Many men who take their own lives may have bitterly
regretted the loss of a child or children to abortion, whether or not they were
party to the decision to abort.
They or their partner were convinced they couldn’t love and care for that
child, that its life had no intrinsic value and so was better ended. It’s only
logical that parents of aborted children should decide, if they can no longer
love and care for themselves or each other, that their life is better ended
also.
This “part of the conversation about suicide” just isn’t happening. But if
we’re serious about recognising the risks, it should and it must.
