She was an intersting woman who said a lot of interesting things.

She said something along the lines of "We can forgive them for killing our children, but we cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill theirs". She seemed to see it as something that damaged the soul.

There are some sins that do that. It's not that the forgiveness wouldn't be there if the evil doer asked, it's that the soul is so corrupted and the conscience is so deadened that there's no way the perp could recognize the sin, repent and be forgiven. From stories my uncles told, the hardest thing they every had to do in WWII was dump explosives in the water (to get the subs)when there were U.S. Navy personnel in the water and the second hardest thing was to shoot children rigged with booby-traps. They said they just couldn't get over it.

One uncle woke up with nightmares into his 60's and could only talk about it when he was in his 70's. He said the G.I.s would yell stop to the kids, but they would keep coming. They learned "stop" in every language where they would be, but the Japanese and Vietnamese (and now the M.E.) place no value on the lives of their children.

In America we abort in the first trimester. Other places just practice postpartum abortion -- they wait until the mothers have taught them to walk and talk and laugh and play -- then they kill them. It's a double high for the men -- they kill the kids and the mother's souls.
