The Unborn, Abortion, Voting, Fatima # 6
July 31, 2007

This is page 6 of the Classic one hour talk on the above by Father Greg Staab O.M.V, given Oct. 12, 2002. It is transcribed from a tape, What Happened at Fatima?

“What do we call the candidate who wants to keep killing legal? He refers to himself as being pro-choice. How many of us would vote for someone who said, ‘I think that killing should be legal in our country. I am in favoring of the legalization of killing human beings.’ How many of us would vote for such a person?

“I don’t think any of us would vote for such a person, right, anybody would vote for such a person. But they don’t refer to themselves in that way because there is deception and there is {are} lies that are involved in the whole thing. So they call themselves pro-choice. It is very anti-septic and in itself it sounds very harmful, in fact, it sounds like there is a value that they are upholding in some way. But who are they?

“They are people who are in favor of the legalization of killing: killing of unborn children….Abortion is very harmful to women. David Reardon has a very interesting series of books. One of them is called: Making Abortion Rare. I am paraphrasing this right now. But he has talked about the fact that you’ve got this middle majority in our country who are kind of undecided, kind of wishy-washy on the reality of abortion and it constitutes the majority of Americans where there is, they don’t really feel comfortable. But they don’t really want to impose their own morality and why do they often times make the decision that they make. It’s kind of a wishy-washy sort.

“It’s because they want to have what they call non-judgmentalism. And they want to have compassion, compassion for the woman. There is that sense that maybe they know some women who have had abortions and they want to have the sense of compassion and non-judgmentalism towards them. And they see themselves as being good, good people non-judgmental, compassionate.

“It’s very important to realize that we are the ones by what we hold that we have to take on that attitude we’re compassionate and we too want to have a non-judgmental attitude of people’s hearts. But it is important to note that abortion hurts women. It deeply hurts women. And it is important that we educate people on this reality and that people become more aware of this.

“John Paul II said in Crossing the Threshold of Hope in firmly rejecting the pro-choice, it is necessary to become courageously pro-woman, promoting a choice that is truly in favor of women. It is precisely the woman, in fact, who pays the highest price for the suppression of a child, the life of the child who has been conceived. So he speaks about the fact that women pay this tremendously high price when they have an abortion.

“There is an axiom that goes like this, a truism: If you want to help a mother, help her child. If you want to give joy to a mother, give joy and happiness to her child. You want to hurt a mother, hurt her child. You want to kill something within a mother, kill her child. Women will have a wound and it’s deep and it’s so profound that most women are not able to look at it right away, the reality of the wound that takes place within them. Important for us to know too, abortion for women is an act of despair. Often time people can think of a person that goes out and has an abortion, this person is exceedingly selfish and actually what’s there, the person is often in tremendous crisis and they feel there is no hope in the situation they find themselves in….”
