The Interim Most of us would agree that abortion is an integral part of the Culture of Death. Many would guess, without really understanding why, that chastity belongs to the Culture of Life. Let's think this through.
Abortion takes the life of an unborn baby and kills the conscience of the mother and of society.
Pro-lifers have been saying that for years. Most of us would answer that this life is not ours to take, it was created by God in His image and likeness and that destroying it is a grave insult to God and against His Commandments. Even though we can sympathize with the difficulties women may face, as pro-lifers we believe that these are not acceptable reasons, that there are no acceptable reasons. We see chastity as a positive thing that will reduce the incidence of teen pregnancy and, as a result, abortion. While that is true, it is based on a very limited understanding of what this virtue really means.
