“When,” asks Julie Chapman of KidsCan (Our future prosperity, February 8) “did we become such a self-centred
society that we no longer care for those in real need?”
When we legislated for abortion, that’s when. When we decided our lives
were so much more important than our unborn children’s that we were justified in dispensing with theirs.
Chapman is ‘dismayed by the lack of compassion some people show children’.
Collectively, we all lack compassion for children who because they’re unborn,
unseen, we think we can deprive of any life, even the life of hardship which
Chapman rightly deplores.
Ask those who do post-abortion counselling and they’ll say that even more
than financial hardship, it’s abortion which - to quote Chapman again - ‘places
enormous pressure on family life and affects the emotional well-being of both
the parents and (surviving) children’.
Better perhaps, to quote Mother Teresa of Calcutta: ‘Abortion brings a
people to be spiritually poor, and that is the worst poverty and the most
difficult to overcome.”
