George Vella, Tonio Fenech and others who wrote to defend the unborn child deserve our thanks and appreciation.

Amanda Ussak’s argument (March 3) left me speechless. She said: “While that potential life should be valued, it does not have a developed conscience or an understanding of Church and societal teachings to enable it to make decisions.’’

So do we value the potential life by killing it? And is a newborn baby, a child up to the age of reason or a person with mental disability able to make the decisions Ussak mentioned? So, do we kill them too? There is confusion in her argument.  I would like to thank the Commission of the Rights for People with Disabilities for its statement (March 16).

Thank God, there are still many of us who appreciate life from conception to natural death. We must all speak in defence of the most vulnerable: the child in the womb.
