The Unborn, Abortion, Voting, Fatima # 10 of 12

All of the following paragraphs are transcribed from a tape, (M 1273) What Happened At Fatima? by Fr. Gregory Staab, O.M.V. Oct. 12th, 2002, by St. Joseph Radio. 800-500-4556, 714-744-0336.

“The ones given up to these healthy families (via adoption) do better than the children that are raised by their biological mother. It’s also better for the single young mother. Teenage mothers who choose adoption do better than mothers who choose to be single parents. They have higher education aspiration and more likely to finish school and less likely to live in poverty and receive public assistance than mothers who keep their children.

“They delay marriage longer and more likely to marry eventually. They are more likely to be employed 12 months after the birth of a child and less likely to repeat out of wed-lock pregnancy. So it is better for the single mother, better also for the child that they be given up for adoption.

“When there is an abortion, it also has a negative effect on the children that remain in society. The children that remain in society are actually treated more poorly. Child Abuse has increased and these statistics are incredible. In 1973 when abortion became legal in the United States, there were 167,000 cases of child abuse and neglect. Seven years later in 1980, there 785,000 cases, an increase of 370%. In 1987, there were 2,025,200 cases reported, that is an increase of 1,112 % in terms of the increase in child abuse after abortion has been legalized. Dr. Philip Ney did a study of why this would be the case? His research clearly pointed to the fact that abortion lowered a parent’s psychic resistance to violence and abuse of their surviving children.
“It also distorted people’s conscience and mentality this law. People’s consciences are formed by laws. Cardinal O’Connor spoke about this in a very interesting way. He noted that in the South when laws discriminated against Blacks, for instance, they could not use certain restaurants, or drink from certain water fountains and so forth. Most Southerners thought that these laws were just because the law forms our mentality and it forms our conscience. After these laws were changed in the South, most young people and middle-aged people in the South now admit that discrimination was wrong. And it is wrong. The same distortion of consciences has happened with laws that permit the killing of unborn children. John Paul II made the statement that these laws kill not only children; they kill consciences. And so it is very important that we seek to have laws that are conformed to the natural law.

“What about the exceptions of rape and incense? An innocent unborn baby should not be killed for the crime of his father. Do we punish other criminals by killing their children? No! This is really very well exemplified by a speaker, a pro-life speaker. And he was speaking to a group of 13 year olds, and about the pro-life issue. There was a 13 year old girl who raised her hand and said, ‘I am against abortion but I think it should be allowed in cases of rape’. And the guy asked her, ‘how old are you?’ She said, ‘I’m 13’. And he said [this is just a hypothetical], ‘God forbid this would even happen. Let’s imagine that your father committed rape. Should you, you are 13 years old be put to death for the crime of your father?’ And the girl said No! ‘Now imagine that you are 5 years old and your father committed rape. Should you be put to death for the crime of your father?’ No, she said. ‘Now imagine that you are 3 months old in you mother’s womb. Your father had committed that rape. Should you be put to death for the crime of your father?’ And the girl said No!

“One of the things, too that we know about rape is that there are only 1 or 2 pregnancies that occur for every 1000 rapes, 1 or 2 pregnancies. This means that about 170 to 340 pregnancies due to rape occur every year in the U.S.A. So it’s very, very, very rare.
“… also, the chief complaint about women who have been raped is not they are pregnant. The chief complaint is how they are treated. If all such victims were given genuine love and support, many more than at the present would carry their babies to term…
