One of the most important lessons that God taught me through this ordeal was that I not only have a right to speak out for life and against abortion, but as a Catholic, I have an obligation to do so as well. Not only did I have the right to tell Sharon she shouldn t abort her unborn child, I had an obligation to do so as someone who cared for her. There are alternatives. There are people who will help you. I have learned that silence is deadly.
Silence is an acquiescence to the murder of an innocent unborn child.
Neither should you be silent. If someone who you care about it is contemplating an abortion, you must not remain silent. You must tell her what she is doing is wrong. You must not stand by silently while she makes the worst mistake of her life. I know that there's no guarantee that your words will convince her to reconsider her decision, but by remaining silent, you guarantee that she won't.
