DEACON FOR LIFE

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

Shocking Revelations?

Baby born at 22 weeks of pregnancy!

A research paper has revealed shocking revelations in the debate on abortions. The paper, published in the May issue of BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, reveals that 102 (3.2%) babies out of 3,189 were born alive after abortion.

The paper has been released following a 10-year analysis of abortions for foetal anomaly in the West Midlands of Britain.

The results of the research show that live births occurred in a shocking 18 out of 20 maternity units in the West Midlands.

Notice the word shocking! Well this is not something we Pro-Lifers have not known, so we're not so shocked! This report was released from Britain, but imagine how many babies are born alive throughout the world!

Now here's what's shocking! How many of these babies, that are born alive after being aborted, are left to die? Are they instantly rushed to a hospital for medical and premature care, or are they left to die by themselves, perhaps suffocated, perhaps starved or dehydrated to death. Remember, the abortionist is there to kill! Some of them will kill the baby (infanticide) outside the womb, so as to get the money for doing a complete job. It's a sick world out there and the devil is having a ball killing babies, God's most precious infants!

LIFE IS SACRED

An example of the traditional magisterial teaching which indicates that it is never morally licit to intentionally kill a child through abortion in order to “save the life of its mother” comes from the teaching of Pope Pius XII:

“Every human being, even the infant in the mother's womb, has the right to life immediately from God, not from the parent or any human society or authority. Therefore, there is no man, no human authority, no science, no medical, eugenic, social, economic or moral ‘indication’ that can show or give valid juridical title for direct deliberate disposition concerning an innocent human life-which is to say, a disposition that aims at its destruction either as an end in itself or as the means of attaining another end that is perhaps in no way illicit itself. Thus, for example, to save the life of the mother is a most noble end, but the direct killing of the child as a means to this end is not licit.”
