Legally killing of nascent life... shame on your enthusiasm, Ireland.

I’d love to see a map of all countries that have accepted abortion and when the did so. I bet only really primitive ones held out so far. They must have something going for them...

“We must not be surprised when we hear of murders, of killings, of wars, of hatred. If a mother can kill her own child, what is left but for us to kill each other.”
~ Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta ~

We can’t expect the Holy Father to excommunicate those who went against the teaching of the Church.

Oh wait - that would be saying something about the values of Catholics who voted for abortion and the Church doesn’t want to face up to it.

What good is the Church when its not a good shepherd of its flock?

The truth is that those women which choose to kill their babies are FOREVER HAUNTED BY THAT DECISION
no amount of bullshit dancing in the streets by the stupid young female morons will ever teach thrm that
Without exception this is. Without exception
Kill your baby. Feel pain agony loneliness and regret forever
All this means to young stupid women is that they can have sex stupidly with no consequence if they screw up

The Irish have embraced neo pagan hedonistic debauchery. So has much of the West. These are dark times. Yet after much suffering and after most alive today have died, believe that a faithful remnant will rise up and save mankind.

Blacks were declared to be less than human and look what happened.

Jews were declared to be less than human and look what happened.

Now unborn children are declared to be less than human and see what is happening to them.

I still well remember when Mother Theresa gave a speech with Bill and Hillary in the audience. She spoke out against abortion. She received a tremendous ovation. From everyone except Bill and Hillary of course.

IT’S ABORTICIDE, NOT ABORTION.

If a society won’t protect its most defenseless children, who will it protect?

this is what legalized abortion does to a society.

“Newspapers around the world are hailing the decision as an “historic” mandate to expand women’s rights...”

Romans 1
32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

Among the reasons society came together and ratified our Constitution was to “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.”

Thus, there cannot be a right to eradicate the next generation.

You mean because it legalizes murder of a human being in one situation thus creating a slippery slope where other situations are then considered as well?

Such situations include murdering the old, the infirm, new borns (out of the womb), for example. In case you are wondering, I know of people considering each one of these possibilities as the next ‘legal’ action.

I once met a woman who claimed she’d had six abortions, utilizing it as a form of birth control. Conscience didn’t seem to have a hold on her.

The comments:

“In fact, the goal of ultimate freedom necessarily requires the limitation of certain choices – for example, the choice to disrespect or harm others’ natural rights – in order to create a society in which everyone has the ability to participate in democracy as equals.”

“Abortion becomes a clear case in which the inherent dignity, and the natural rights thereof, of a person precede the exercise of choice. Indeed, the unborn are the most defenseless, least equipped beings among us to handle the world without our care. It is in these straits, however, that they get attacked as useless, valueless, not even human (despite the fact that every human was once also unborn). When the unborn are viewed as parasites, or as useless clumps of cells, there is no stopping civilized society from viewing other, less developed, or weaker human beings from being viewed the same way.”

lay out the case against “choice” better than I have ever seen it before.

"Aborticide" is not a real word.

If you want a word more specific than "murder" it's "infanticide".

You are thinking far, far, too deeply for the even the smartest leftist.

You should feel terrible for planting such a conundrum within the minds of leftists. LOL
