“We are not born with this violence," comments Justice Under-Secretary Jan Logie, on a report showing more than a third of Kiwi women experience
family violence.
But in fact, since 1977 there have been 500,000 Kiwis ‘born with this
violence’: born dead, killed in their mothers’ womb by abortion.
The stats on family violence show that since the first generation to survive
abortion matured, domestic violence has grown exponentially. In 1978 there were 11
domestic homicides. In 2017 there were 48.
The womb, our first home, is where 500,000 New Zealanders
- and rising - experienced domestic violence for the first and final time,
conferring on mothers, fathers and even siblings a grievous woundedness of
spirit, expressed by our inarticulate nature through physical retaliation.
“Culturally appropriate solutions informed by science” will achieve
nothing. What’s needed is a rediscovery of God’s love and wisdom, especially as
expressed in his Ten Commandments, which encompass all the “complex social and
psychological issues” implicit in human nature.
Especially, a return to his Fifth Commandment: ‘Thou shalt not kill’.
