The Law Changes – Morality Does Not
In New Zealand (NZ), in 1961, society became enlightened enough to abolish the death penalty as punishment for those found guilty of murder, and abolished it altogether, including for treason, in 1989.
Oddly, in 1961, while saving murderers from hanging, NZ society countenanced the killing of innocents, through abortion, when two doctors concurred and certain tests were met.
It introduced a change to the law that in time, through interpretation, became close to a regime of abortion on demand. Those who perform legal abortions are not considered criminals, under the law, even though they end human lives.
Strangely, these contradictions are accepted by many in NZ society today. Capitalizing on it, the pro-abortion lobbyists have been advocating for all obstacles to the legalised killing of the unborn to be removed. They say abortion is solely a “women’s health issue”. That is effectively the same as treating the unborn child as a cancerous growth.
The NZ Law Commission has just released a briefing paper examining alternatives to abortion laws. It backs the pro-abortionist view that the current law (undesirably) leads to delays and presents barriers for women seeking abortion services.
What a tragedy that we can’t treat the unborn child with the same compassion as we’ve treated murders since 1961.
