Let’s talk about “the so-called code of silence at play to try to cover up
the crime”, not of killing Chozyn (A homegrown epidemic, April 16), but the
crime of abortion.
Could we please get honest about domestic violence? Could we
please recognise that it’s the violence of women towards their own
children in utero which causes violence against women – usually by their
partners, note, not husbands. It can’t be proven, but it’s true that those who
live by the sword die by the sword.
Futile words are expended by people who have power to stop the violence but
are paralysed by their own experience of abortion/s, or their best friend’s or
their daughter’s or granddaughter’s.
Women are both “victims and users of
violence” and the help they need isn’t blah blah blah, it’s encouragement to
adopt and if when the baby’s in her mother’s arms she can’t surrender it, she
needs employment for her child’s father, to learn baby care and be supplied with
baby gear.
There is “a quick fix”; it’s an end to abortion. But given our
prevalent attitude of wilful blindness, I’m not going to bate my breath.
