Why we had done so, however, is because we believe that what happened to you had a violent impact on two distinct individual human beings: yourself and your unborn child. What Mr King had done is beyond excuse and we do not condone it in the slightest. And neither did the law: Mr King was rightly tried for his action – although the extent of his sentence is certainly open for debate.

In Duane’s article, he compared the act of abortion with the act perpetrated against you because, on our worldview, they are both unjustified acts of violence towards an innocent unborn child. (And, by extension, most certainly upon you, too.) Further, we see a disconnect in how the law punished Mr King for the killing of your unborn child on the one hand, but permits the legalised killing of unborn children on the other. We cannot comprehend that the law of the land has such a gross inconsistency with regards to the sanctity of life.

We can understand the continued grief you feel over what happened to you and your child. You have our deepest sympathies and prayers.

Have a read of the article, Mother vows to fight for law change over death of unborn child. Interestingly, the article quotes one lawyer who is in favor of changing the law for the better, with a pro-life view:

“An unborn baby, we all know, is no different really from a baby who was delivered maybe two days later and equipped with a birth certificate. It's nonsense to distinguish between the two.”

Yes, common sense tells us that we do all know that there's no difference between a baby two-days in the womb or two-days out of the womb. Unfortunately, we have some laws and a larger prevailing attitude that is a far cry from this common sense approach.
