Dear Sir /
Madam,
As a Christian in the New South Africa I would like it known that
whilst I support freedom of speech - I am not able to accept the
total
abandonment of censorship and the restrictions of importing pornographic
materials.
Whilst travelling overseas I have observed that values are far
lower and our children in South Africa need to be protected, to some
extent,
until they are old enough to know and judge for themselves. Let us continue to
have children to be proud of and not drag
them down to standards where porn is
available on every movie screen and seen in every advertisment and magazine
available.
In the same vein let me state that we are opposed to
homosexual marriages. How can ANYONE accept a marriage between two people of
the same sex as being correct? Marriage is a sacrament from God, between a man
and a woman so that they can enjoy one another and
create life. It is not
possible for two people of the same sex to create life. It is also not a
normal relationship and should not be treated as such.
I am also totally
opposed to the legalisation of abortion on demand - it is the unborn child who
has a right to choose ... not the
woman who was selfish enough to put herself in
that predicament. Life begins at conception and abortion is no different from
murder.
Please, please do not allow our New South Africa to lower her
standards to join the rest of the world.
Let Lis be proud and hold our
heads up which as we strive for unity and equality and a good life for our
children who are the backbone
of the future.
Yours
sincerely,
Dawn Noland
