Defending the unborn

Maureen German, Sliema.

Going further to Anita Kilbride-Jones' letter (April 4) far be it for me to commit a sin of omission when it comes to sticking up for the unborn.

I was in the garden at Sliema when I heard an Englishman saying that we, here in Malta, are not free because we cannot perform an abortion on the unwanted child...

My reaction was that we are so free that we are also allowing the unborn to come to fruition even though they have no voice to speak up for themselves.

I sincerely feel the unwanted child is saying: "Give me freedom to live even while I am still in the womb".

This is just the sort of thing which pro-abortionists and pro-choice (pro-abortionists) don't want to hear.

The cheapness of life - as demonstrated by how well we treat our animals when compared to humans - is demonstrated clearly by those who do not value the unborn.

Since the law does not define abortion as murder, neither does society.

Malta does not have the death penalty even against the most hardened criminal,yet some want to apply the death sentence to the most innocent and vulnerable in our society, the child in its mother's womb. Maltese society does not kill its citizens but nourishes them. Malta should not allow any foreigner to impose upon who is to live and who is to die in Malta.

Abortion is murder. Period.
