THROWING THE TOASTER IN THE BATH (letter to Dom Post, June 23)



We shouldn't have to live with constant peril, says Verity Johnson (June 22). As her name suggests, she’s speaking the truth. It’s appalling that women, my daughter among them, can’t walk through Welly at night alone in safety.
 
But another truth, known and accepted by all, is that violence begets violence. Abortion is violence. Women pressured into abortion resort to the ultimate violence, against their own children.
 
Tragedies like the murder and rape of comedian Eurydice Dixon, and the sexual abuse women object to so strenuously - not to mention our aging population - are all products of the Pandora's box of legalized abortion.
 
Come on people, face the truth. Let’s put love before money, before careers, before financial hardship. That’s advice we all know in our hearts. It’s much more basic than knowing  “not to throw a toaster in the bath”.
 
And because it’s “practical advice”, we need to take it, on the chin.  

If we do, in time the streets will be safe again.
