Our own Catholic Church has stressed the human life issue. When we accept violence in any form as commonplace, our sensitivities become dulled. When we accept violence, war itself can be taken for granted. Abortion in particular blunts a sense of the sacredness of human life. Nothing, can justify direct attack on innocent human life, in or out of warfare.
Abortion is precisely such an attack.
This expresses itself in the tenacious and tender love for the little pre-born ones, whose lives are threatened in their mothers' wombs. This is the sensitive and sympathetic love for the troubled mother, often confused by propaganda and pressures, often unaware of the help at hand from many sources. This is a love for confused neighbors, together with the gift to teach clearly the facts which will dissipate the mist of misinformation. This is a love for God, giver and upholder of life and judge of how we live it. We shall never know how many lives their teaching saves.
