We Catholics and the rest of the world need to understand that only God can take life, for He is the one that gives life. A baby is a gift from God, and our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit and should be cared for and nurtured as such. Knowing all of these things, governments continue to fund abortions with our tax dollars. 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.
