Dear Sir Madam
As you have
advertised for the country to write in and contribute their thoughts to the new
constitution I felt strongly enough to
put pen to paper.
1 . On the point
of the censorship of pornographic material including magazines, sexual materials
and films, I would like to recommend
a tightening up. I have seen in other
countries such as America and England how pornography has degraded (sexually)
children and
adults, this has also raised the level of rape./
I've always
enjoyed the censorship South Africa has had up to a couple of years ago which
banned sexually explicit movies and pornographic
magazines. I've been heart
broken to see that changing and feel that if we follow the same route as other
countries, we can expect
sexual crimes to escalate. Please tighten the
censorship on pornography not loosen it.
2. On the point of abortion I
firmly believe that life begins at conception and eachfoetushastherighttolife.
Pleasereconsideryouroptionsregardingabortion,
adoption is an alternative, there
are so (end of page 1) many childless couples. lets give them hope. With all
the blood shed our
country has experienced should'nt we be saving lives not
murdering even more.
3. Regarding the trend towards homosexual
relationships and marriages, I strongly object to any legalisation for gays to
marry and
even to adopt. What kind of society are we becoming anyway? I am not
a homophonic, just a very concerned individual who's very
worried about the
effect on a child thats adopted by a gay couple, what image is that child going
to have of society if he/she accepts
the abnormal as normal.
We call
ourselves a Christian country, but what does God feel about these three issues
maybe we should read the Bible and find out.
-2-
By the
way I'm a single 26 year old woman who up to now has loved, enjoyed and been
proud to have lived in South Africa, is the new
constitution going to change
that?
Yours sincerely
Miss Elizabeth
Caffyn
