A letter to Mr. Watson

Dear Mr. Watson

Thank you for your recent reply to my letter. Ms. Warnock also replied and I have today forwarded another letter to her. I would be grateful if you could take the time to read this letter and I request that you also respond to the very serious questions posed to Ms. Warnock and also the following.

You state in your letter that

• a woman has the right to control her own body

• termination of a pregnancy is a private matter left to the woman and the doctor

My questions to you are:

• What gives the woman the right to control the destiny of her child's body? Scientifically, it is well known that the child is another body with its own brain functions and heartbeat and only is supported by the nutrients of the mother.

• What about the right of the father and the right of the child?

• Doctors swear to dedicate their lives to saving lives not to "terminating" them

• Since when do doctors decide the fate of a child that the doctor has had nothing to do with conceiving?

• Even "safe', legal abortions have resulted in emotional, physical scarring for many women, as well as death in some cases. (This is well documented and I could supply you with this information if you so desired.) Isn't this the same result as "backyard abortions?" Women do not have to go through with a "backyard abortion" if they do not want to. Rendering abortion illegal will only encourage women to seek assistance for a trouble pregnancy in another way, with our help, rather than risk their own death.

Thank you very much .

Kind regards
