10 000 Babies Killed a Week is a "Victory"?

Sheree Russouw reports in Saturday’s (3 Feb) Weekend Argus that the 10 th commemoration of the legalisation of abortion-on-demand (1 February) was a “day of victory and celebration” for “the government and women’s rights groups”.

How can the murder of 10 000 innocent pre-born babies a week be a cause for celebration?

Neither should we be celebrating the fact that, as your headline boldly declared, “10 000” women a week should have to go through such a terrible physical and emotional ordeal both during and after the procedure.

Killing an innocent and helpless child through abortion can never be an acceptable “solution” to any problem. Deciding to keep the baby or give the child up for adoption, will grant the woman the memory of giving birth to a new life rather than killing the baby growing within her.

Life has become cheap in the new South Africa. Those who hate God love death.
