Reading contributions in the press from certain people about what they call “civil rights” from the introduction of divorce to the introduction of abortion makes one wonder if they are being positive or being negative.

I believe that they are being negative. Instead of educating their readers on doing the right things, they always harp on the idea that the individual has every right to do what he likes and so legislation should provide easy access to these so-called “rights”.

It is better for these contributors to write about the advantages people will have from a stable marriage between a man and a woman. How advantageous marriage is for the upbringing of children. That the birth of a child is a gift for mankind and that abortion means death by execution. Readers want to know that euthanasia will always remain a killing of an individual.

One sincerely hopes that these negative people have more happiness in their life.
