MALCOLM MUGGERIDGE WROTE:

"Our Western way of life has come to a parting of the ways; time's takeover bid for eternity has reached the point at which irrevocable decisions have to be taken. Either we go on with the process of shaping our own destiny without reference to any higher being than man, deciding ourselves how many children should be born, when and in what varieties, which lives are worth continuing and which should be put out, from whom spare parts - kidneys, hearts, genitals, brain-boxes even - shall be taken and to whom allotted. Or we draw back, seeking to understand and fall in with our Creator's purpose for us rather than pursue our own; in true humility praying, as the founder of our religion and our civilization taught us: Thy will be done. "

"This is what the abortion controversy is about, and what the euthanasia controversy will be about when, as must inevitably happen soon, it arises. The logical sequel to the destruction of what are called 'unwanted children' will be the elimination of what will be called 'unwanted lives' --a legislative measure which so far in all human history only the Nazi government has ventured to enact.

"In this sense the abortion controversy is the most vital and relevant of all. For we can survive energy crisis, inflation, wars, revolutions and insurrections, as they have been survived in the past; but if we transgress against the very basis of our moral existence, becoming our own gods in our own universe, then we shall surely and deservedly perish from the earth."

MALCOLM MUGGERIDGE (London Sunday Times) (March 24, 1903–November 14, 1990) was a British journalist, author, satirist, media personality, soldier-spy and Christian scholar. He converted to the Roman Catholic Faith in his later years, probably through the influence of Blessed Mother Teresa. What's amazing is his insight to our present days where not only abortion is widespread but euthanasia is fast moving through the world, experiments on the unborn, cloning, etc., etc. I'm sure he would be a great Pro-Lifer, if he was living our days!!!
