The
violence we are daily seeing through all forms of media is symptomatic of the
“just below the surface” violence within the community. There is a tension,
which must be released and will not evaporate without leaving in its wake a
disaster.
Perhaps
an explanation of the unconscious response to abortion and the violence inherent in it, may shed some light on this era of violence.
Since the onset of the culture of the “pill” and “self-ism” the woman has
progressively taken control of her fertility and her body. And indeed to be
able to understand her body and to guard and protect her body as inviolate is a
good thing. However, this is not what
has happened. The woman has demanded control over her body in as far as her
fertility is concerned, and has removed from her husband/partner any rights and
responsibility towards an act which has resulted in a conception. This has led to decisions to end the life within her.
This, taking control, "its my body I will do with it what I want" whilst ostensibly “good” as far as some
men and women are concerned has ultimately failed all.
Today, whether he chooses or not, a man can
walk away from his responsibility towards a child he has engendered. Conversely
should he choose not to walk away from the responsibility it can be forcibly
wrenched from him so that he cannot do anything to change the situation. The
removal of responsibility has not spelled equal rights, as has been suggested,
but indeed unequal suffering. The woman suffers lifelong anguish. Yes it’s
real. It happens even for those who blithely believe that it hasn’t affected
them. The man suffers loss of something of his essence, of his fatherhood, of
his fathering, of his manhood.
For the state and nation which has decreed that
the killing of its future citizens is lawful, there is to be other losses which
cannot ever be recouped.
All citizens begin their life as zygotes, embryos,
fetuses, babies, young ones, adolescents, youth, and mature individuals. Citizens of a nation have not just been
deposited there from outer space. They have been conceived and permitted to be
born and to be members of the state, nation, and above all humanity. Abortion of an in utero infant must lead to death at other end of life because not enough citizens born to maintain the other end of life.
Sadly what the state of Victoria and following
all states (as is the intention) has now done is enshrined into its
statutes, a law which says that infants are not really wanted. The death of pre born infants to 40 weeks. Full mature babies.
What a great tragedy that the women themselves
have demanded their own extinction because at least 50% of infants killed are
little baby girls.
