We continue with excerpts from a talk given by a priest in the year 2000.

Changes take place as the individual grows but it always a human being and there are always different stages of development.

Often in debates the other side does not show up. Why? The reasons are they are afraid to the truth. Because what you have here is a real human being from the moment of fertilization. There is a real human being in the womb.

What is involved here is clearly murder by the taking the life of a human being and the facts clearly present that.

What the issue often times come down to is this? First of all there are deep emotions involved. It is a highly emotional issue.

Since 1973 we have had millions of abortions and millions of people are affected by it. There are all kinds of family members that are affected by it. There is a tremendous amount of hurt that is involved. On a deeper level we realize that there is a spiritual battle involved.

This stated: there are some points they will use to rationalize their point of view. For example, a woman who feels a deep need for the abortion doesn’t want her child and is not for adoption. She wants to prevent child abuse.

Let us listen to the statistics from the Department of Health and Human Services.

In 1973 when abortion first became legalized in the United States, there were 170,000 cases of child abuse reported.

In 1980, seven years later, there were 785,100 cases reported. This is an increase of 370% in 7 years.

In 1987, another 7 years later, there were 2,025,200 cases reported which represents an increase of 1,112 % in a period of 14 years.

Has abortion decreased child abuse?

Rather than helping to stop child abuse legal abortion it seems has actually contributed to its sharp rise.

The increase is due to the effects which abortion has had on women’s self-esteem and their ability to deal with stress, abortion has actually increased the amount of child abuse according to Dr. Philip Ney.

“Abortion is to woman what the Serpent was to Eve.”
