The story of baby Catherine highlights the sad plight of some women who fall pregnant and are not able to cope with their new situation. The Headline seen in Sydney in the Daily Telegraph highlights the unthinking reaction many people easily have. With all the support that is available these days, for a person to do this shows a very desperate situatiion that cries out for help. Not only should we be sympathetic to the plight of the mother, we must all work hard to create communities where any person is able to find the help and support they need.
Too many people still experince alienation and loneliness. As a Christian community we must always seek to be welcoming and inclusive.

What really concerns me is the reaction of our Prime Minister who quickly jumped to the defence of the Daily Telegraph for odious, political reasons, i.e. to keep sweet with the Murdoch press.
