I WOULD like to say that I disagree emphatically with all those who think we have the right to take the life of an unborn child on the assumption that it will or may be unsuitable to live in this world, so we first get rid of it by murder.
Many years ago we in this part of the world took the decision to abolish the death penalty, a very human decision because there was the distinct possibility we might kill an innocent person. That person had the full support of the law and even if found guilty was not put to death. Who defends the little unborn child whom we want to kill just because it's not 100 per cent normal? No-one, not even our justice minister - the very person who should be against murder of any kind.
I am calling for the abolishment of the death penalty of murder of the unborn child, healthy or otherwise. The law does not speak up for them so we must, we are all they have to love and protect them always.
