The day will come when people read about abortion with the same disgust we feel about drawing and quartering or beheadings.
They’ll certainly wonder at the blithe insouciance with which we did it.
I am not as ‘hard-line’ as some here are, when it comes to abortion. I don’t believe, for instance, that a woman who is raped, or the victim of forced incest, should be required to carry a child - and I worry very much about the influence of rape on the child itself. I also believe that if it’s a choice between the life of a woman, and the life of the unborn child, the woman should live. We have traditionally made rational - not hard-line - decisions about this.
But we have become a culture that simply doesn’t value Life, and - as someone here displays as a sig. - believe in sacrificing Life to the ‘God of Convenience’.
That’s a death knell for a civilization.
