Re: ‘They got away with murder' (The Weekend Sun, July 1).

K Morland's letter headed ‘They got away with murder' reflects the writer's contention that the sentences handed down in the case of Moko Rangioheriri case would be one of the 'worst messages of all time sent to would-be child abusers in this country”.

I can tell you a worse one - from over the ditch. Recently, the Australian Minister of Health provided last year's annual figures for late term abortions, which included the figure of 204 babies born alive.

The release stated these babies were simply left to die.

For each of these babies someone got away with murder, but you don't read of any prosecutions.

Obviously, when we've lived so long with the lie that the unborn legally ‘aren't there', it's logical to say killing the born doesn't matter either.

I guess that's how abortionists sleep at night.
