The shame of abortion
I predict that by the end of this century our society will hang its head in shame at the slaughter of our unborn children from abortion. Like slavery and genocide, our children’s children will struggle to comprehend how a civilised society such as ours could have allowed such a crime against humanity.
The shame of abortion
In all of today’s major daily newspapers there is a sea of letters about abortion. It is a divisive issue, and not without reason.
On the one hand, there are those who claim that it is a woman’s choice, and that men have no right to preach morals. On the other hand, there are people like me who believe that the epidemic of 100,000 abortions per year is shocking evidence of an enormous social evil.
In response, I submitted this letter to the SMH, The Age and The Australian:
“I predict that by the end of this century our society will hang its head in shame at the slaughter of our unborn children from abortion. Like slavery and genocide, our children’s children will struggle to comprehend how a civilised society such as ours could have allowed such a crime against humanity.”
It’s hard hitting… but it’s how I feel. Furthermore, I know it is how God feels about the killing of his created children.
PS: Letter was published by The Australian on 4th November.
