In fact, abortion is on the rise. The latest statistics indicate that over 110,000 preborn Canadians are killed by abortion every year, and that since 1969, almost two and a half million unborn babies have been killed. Many women have abortions because they think there is no other choice. No one at abortion clinics discusses that what is growing within the womb is alive, and that it is a new life. In fact, the so-called blob of tissue is taken out and the mother leaves.
Many women feel guilt at having had an abortion but they are told to forget about it.
But there was a choice, a totally unselfish, life-giving choice. Each and every one of us should pray. We should pray for the parents of aborted children, for their repentance and healing. We should pray for the babies lost by abortion and we should pray for ourselves that God will help us to remain faithful to His teachings, including that of chastity. In closing, I would like to say that there are many more facts on this topic, however, times does not allow me to go into depth on this issue.
