My chief objection to abortion isn't the damage that it might cause the woman concerned; I mind that it kills the foetus. But if we are to take seriously the question of whether abortion may have problematic consequences, then we have to acknowledge that most of the research on mental health has not been conclusive.
While we are on this topic. I saw several examples over the weekend of the hypocrisy of many in the news media. When it comes to discussing crime, if a pregnent lady is murdered or hurt and loses her baby then they talk about two victims and they do not say foetus, but baby, child or some other endearing term.
If, however, they are talking about abortion and pro-choice then they will de-humanise the unborn child by calling it a foetus or embryo and they do not care about the loss of life, only the so-called choice and rights of the mother.
I would encourage you to listen to the news and spot these inconsistencies.
The danger we see here is that the value of a life is determined by whether or not the child is wanted. If they want the child, then it is a baby, a life and an individual should be condemned for taking the life of the unborn child. If the baby is not wanted then it is merely an embryo, a foetus and the government paid doctors can end that life with no question of morality or ethics.
I agree with what you say. It makes me angry, sick and appalled at the hypocrisy of the media on this issue. We must keep opposing the murder of babies in the womb and never let up. Today I looked up images of partial birth abortions. It's terrible. This nation of Great Britain does not deserve any mercy - it shows none. I hope this vile, hellish practice of child murder never becomes law in Northern Ireland.
ReplyDeleteI just posted a comment in support of what you wrote - but think it got lost.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment Sandra. People must keep opposing abortion as its proponents never let up.
