Sir, - Recent coverage of the burial of Mandy Allwood's miscarried babies touched many hearts: eight tiny white coffins going into the one grave. Yet each day in our world, some 135.000 preborn babies die by abortion without any media coverage or dignified funeral service. On the contrary, every effort is made to blot out the fact they ever existed their bodies being discarded as medical waste.
What is the essential difference between the two groups of preborn babies? Is it that bone group was wanted and the other not wanted? If this is indeed true, then our society is on a slippery slope of frightening proportions. - Yours, etc.,
Bonane, Kenmare, Co Kerry.
