Abortion is the deliberate, artificial, forcible destruction of an unborn baby. This differs from a miscarriage, which is a naturally occurring loss of a child not ready to be born. Abortion can be accomplished through a variety of procedures. Among them are the injection of a saline solution into the uterus or dissection of the baby in the womb with a surgical device. They need your enthusiasm, your belief in the need to change the world, your certainty that things can improve, your ability to see what's right and to speak out against what is wrong.
Abortions can flourish only in a society where selfishness seems desirable.
Then people need not address responsibly the direct consequences of their sexual activity. They can relegate pregnancy and parenthood to the category of inconvenience. They need not change their lifestyles. Abortion also appeals to people who are afraid and desperate, those who think they have no alternatives. It is easy to understand why a woman who is poor or abused or has been raped could be fooled into thinking that abortion is the best answer.
