René Joseph Ellul (April 2) tried to water down the gravity of abortion. People are much cleverer than he thinks. He seems to be surprised that 93 per cent of people taking part in a survey were against abortion.

Everybody knows that the killing of an embryo/unborn child is murder whichever way you look at it. Mr Ellul said he would rephrase the question: "Do you agree that abortion should be legalised?" Instead he would ask the following questions:

1. "Do you think it is right to introduce the morning after pill?" The answer is the morning after pill is abortive.

2. "Do you think that a woman who was raped should have the right to abortion?" The answer is the same ‒ abortion is murder, and no reason can justify murder.

3. "Should a woman have the choice whether to abort or not if she is in danger?" The answer is the doctor is in duty bound to save both mother and child.

Mr Ellul ended his letter saying that, if these questions were asked, the percentage would be different. He hopes more people would accept a law against life. Is it not a pity?
