"In time, it’s going to be impossible to deny that abortion is violence against children. Future generations, as they look back, are not necessarily going to go easy on ours. Our bland acceptance of abortion is not going to look like an understandable goof. In fact, the kind of hatred that people now level at Nazis and slave-owners may well fall upon our era. Future generations can accurately say, “It’s not like they didn’t know.” They can say, “After all, they had sonograms.” They may consider this bloodshed to be a form of genocide. They might judge our generation to be monsters."
That’s all very well, but what are these future generations going to be doing? Will they be chaste?
A fornicating society needs cheap and easy abortion. One might posit an effortless, flip-the-switch means of contraception, but we really have that now. We have long-term means - injectable, implants, pills, surgery - and we have quick-fix means, “emergency contraception.” Yet we still have abortion.
What will happen in the future that will allow those people to have fornication at-whim but no unwanted babies ever conceived? What will happen that will cause people to choose birth for every baby, regardless of his health status?
“Our bland acceptance of abortion is not going to look like an understandable goof. In fact, the kind of hatred that people now level at Nazis and slave-owners may well fall upon our era.”
That is how I have felt about all Democrats, many Republicans, almost all Catholic bishops, many priests, four Popes (Really, what have they DONE about Cuomo, Kennedy, Pelosi, Drinan, Bernardin, Wuerl, etc.?) and virtually all media personalities for forty years.
