Abortion is defined as the termination of a pregnancy. Abortion can be intentional (an induced abortion) or unintentional (a spontaneous abortion). A spontaneous abortion is commonly called a miscarriage. Miscarriages are more numerous than once thought. A miscarriage is very sad but at least the mother can know that she is innocent of the child's death. An induced abortion (commonly called abortion) makes all parties guilty of the death of the innocent baby killed in that abortion. This blog will deal with the evil of intentional abortion.
Abortion is evil. It is the killing of a tiny (preborn) human baby. It is murder. At the moment of fertilization (which is the moment of conception), a tiny human baby exists. This tiny human baby (called a zygote) has 46 chromosomes (23 chromosomes from the male and 23 chromosomes from the female). This officially and scientifically makes this newly conceived being fully alive and fully human. Besides all that, this new human being is infused with a soul that is made in the image and likeness of God.
The human zygote, the human embryo, the human fetus, the human infant, the human child, the human adolescent, and the human adult are all human beings in the various stages of human development. The human zygote, which is the earliest stage of human development, has all the genetic material of human life and requires only time and nourishment to grow to maturity. Inside the womb of the mother, the pre-natal human being naturally grows along the continuum of human life. Human life begins at fertilization/conception. Nothing is added (genetically or otherwise) to the unborn human being after birth. If this were not the case, biological fatherhood would be a myth.
In any stage of pre-natal human development, it is illicit and immoral to terminate the pregnancy (i.e. have an abortion). It has always been known that once the woman is pregnant, she is 'with child'. The pregnant woman either brings her child to term or she kills her child and from that day forward becomes the mother of a dead baby.
Abortion is a holocaust. The Jewish holocaust of the 20th century claimed millions of victims. The abortion holocaust has claimed billions of victims. The rivers are running red with the blood of the innocent. Abortion statistics indicate that there are currently about 50 million abortions a year world-wide. Total abortion deaths are estimated to be at over two billion and counting. Any nation that sanctions abortion can count on their country's complete destruction in short order. Abortion is the primary cause of society's inevitable collapse. If the people of a nation will kill their own offspring, it is only (logically) a matter of time before that nation ceases to exist. "America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation".-Mother Teresa.
Abortion is "legal" in Canada for the entire nine months of pregnancy and even up to the time of birth. Canada is one of the only nations in the world to have absolutely no law regulating abortion. Abortion was decriminalized in 1969 and all laws prohibiting abortion were struck down in 1988. Now abortions are paid for by the Canadian taxpayers.
Thou shalt not kill is one of the Ten Commandments of God as stated in the Holy Bible. Abortion is the taking of innocent human life in the womb. It is murder. The killing of the innocent is especially repugnant. Abortion is evil. It is a mortal sin.
For anyone guilty of abortion, I say please repent. God's Mercy is infinitely greater than all sin. We have only to repent, confessing our sins, to experience God's forgiveness. Please do this, and live. Pray the Holy Rosary to end abortion.
God Bless you,
In Christ the King,
