"bags" - dehumanises the men further as their faces cannot be seen
"one red smile" - blood and smiles are not normally associated, grotesque image
"tulips" - repetition
"turn our backs" - so barbaric, have lost Christian values
"doctors and scientists" - people die in hospitals, savers of life are being exeuted, what hope is left?
"war criminals" - war against birth, doctors who save lives are considered criminal
"must have had a run on them" - animalistic, like killing herds of animals, humans almost being hunted
"evidence from a single woman is no longer admissible" - women aren't rescpected, trusted, society has moved backwards in trying to move forward
"barbed wire" "broken glass" - not allowed to leave, no escape, they are trapped, suggests danger and pain
"It will become ordinary" - such a horrible things shouldn't be ordinary
"desperate bid for safety" - will do anything, authoritarian, totalitarian, does safety even exist now?
