But let a woman decide to abort a fetus that doesn't even have the neurological apparatus to register suffering, and people are shocked. It's rare for a woman to choose abortion because in some way she dislikes the fetus. This same quality allows us to visualize a world of increasing respect for children, a world in which one can occasionally resort to abortion when it is necessary to sacrifice the fetus to a higher cause, namely, the love of children and the refusal to see them suffer. Abortion always has been and continues to be another way of choosing death over life. Our culture needs new rituals as well as laws to restore abortion to its sacred dimension, which is both terrible and necessary.
Abortion is a sacrifice to Artemis.
Abortion as a sacrament for the gift of life to remain pure. The grass withers, And its flower falls away, but the word of the Lord endures forever. Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.
