Truth ignored
8:36am Thursday 11th October 2012 in Letters By Reader's letter
I CAN see both sides of the argument about the abortion issue. But I do tend toward supporting the pro-life lobby.
I think the American social activist Elizabeth Cady Stanton put it the best: “When we consider that women are treated as property, it is degrading to women that we should treat our children as property to be disposed of as we see fit.”
If human life is created in the image and likeness of God, then foetus termination is a war against the Creator. But this truth is being ignored, even by many of the so-called devout.

As you say, it's merely an *if*.

I would like to be a fly on the wall listening to Aled explain to a 12-year-old rape victim that the “Creator” (the Loving Father of Us All, or so I am told) will be terribly upset if she does not carry her pregnancy to term: no matter that the rapist was her father or the parish priest.

Very evenhanded
