"SOME THINGS ARE WICKED" (letter to Dom Post, Nov 16)



“We hesitate to admit some things are wicked”, says Rosemary McLeod (We seem loath to call bullying what it is – deliberate cruelty, November16). She's right, except sometimes it's not a case of hesitation so much as refusal.

The Germans during the holocaust didn’t want to admit that was wicked, either, but as McLeod says, “Whatever you can get away with becomes acceptable”. Yes; for as long as they were in power the Nazis got away with it, just as we’ve got away with abortion. In our society now, it’s acceptable.

“Nobody wants to front for a nasty business like this.” No, indeed.

McLeod talks about “cruelty to the defenceless”. The people who are employed by the state to kill defenceless unborn babies should know they feel pain by at least 20 weeks. If they don’t know, it’s surely their business to find out.

But as McLeod says, “there is always the hope of justice”. Yes. Some day. Please God.
