The reality of abortion is a moral blight on our society. The legalization of the elimination of a human life is one of those barriers we have crossed that has, in my opinion, unpredictable consequences. No matter how much they change its name (voluntary interruption of pregnancy), no matter how much some justify it (progress, freedom, emancipation of women....) the stubborn and unappealable reality is that abortion ends the life of a human being in the womb of his own mother.
It is not strange that, for this reason, in the heart of the woman who is going to have an abortion, an internal conflict arises, a struggle of conscience, when she enters into the maelstrom of the decision to abort or to go ahead with the life she feels she has in her being.
The powerful voice of the majority of the media, of the governmental campaigns, of even many of their friends and relatives, direct their steps in one direction, the one that marks the single thought. And, by the way, around which the multimillionaire business of abortion clinics moves. Indeed, very few voices are raised to tell this woman that there are other ways, that ending the life of this child is not the solution. The voice of the rescuers who pray in front of the abortion clinics is one of those weak voices that the woman who is going to have an abortion can hear in extremis, just before taking the last irreversible step.
A voice that wants to be extinguished, which is now threatened with imprisonment.
Do we realize the totalitarianism we are reaching? In this, as in other cases, it is not allowed to help anyone who is going through a difficult time and who wants and needs such support. Whoever provides such help is threatened with jail, simply because it goes against this new moral order that proposes a series of new human rights, among which is that of abortion.
We simply cannot remain silent. We must raise our voices and support those who continue to fight to save the lives of these children and mothers until that last moment, at the doors of abortion clinics.
Your presence saves lives. Many. It is courage and awareness. It is support and respect for mothers. And it is very, very important. In fact, if it were not, I doubt that the Government of the Nation and the entire economic empire of abortion clinics would have promoted a law like this.
Silence is neither a valid nor a neutral response.
