| Are unborn babies without rights? This is the question that must be asked as we celebrate Human Rights Day on 21 March 2001: is a baby without rights simply because it hasn't seen the light of day? Christians for Truth, an association of a 100,000 members deplores the continued agression against the the most innocent and defenseless of all human life. The whole culture of human rights seeks to defend the defenseless, to speak for the voiceless. The abortion laws of South Africa remain a constant contradiction to the culture of human rights. All public opinion polls have shown that the vast majority of the public is pro-life. One sometimes wonders whether the horrific child abuse, which has reached pandemic proportions in South Africa, is perhaps symptomatic of the condoned abuse of unborn children? By removing the dignity of some, officially condoned by our government, it threatens the dignity of all. For more information contact Jenny Christmas at 032 4815500 or 083 5294373. |
