Impossible human situations(The Abortion Issue)

When I was a kid, if it was legal it was ok because you expected your government to be moral. That all changed when we became an immoral government, but people still have the impression that if its legal it's ok. We need to get back to what is moral and immoral. We are supposed to learn that in church.

 

Most murders, in general, are probably not committed for personal satisfaction or enjoyment for their own sake, although the latter are the ones that attract most attention. Most are committed for convenience, because people have found themselves in difficult situations. They may even pretend to themselves that they regret it in the act of doing it. For example, the murderer who kills his victim in the course of a robbery, but is reluctantly 'forced' to kill him for having the temerity to resist, or the rapist who 'must' murder his victim in case she identifies him. There is almost no limit to the human reason's ability to rationalise events in its own favour.

 

Two wrongs don’t make a right.

 

Many moons ago, I faced a crisis: Surrender a child up for adoption or keep and have family help me raise.

Abortion was NEVER an option. NEVER.

Nature unexpectedly intervened: I suffered a miscarriage.

Only Nature is allowed to take away an unborn person.

 

St. Augustine ‘an unjust law is no law at all.’

St. Thomas Aquinas: An unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law. Any law that uplifts human personality is just. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust.”

And again from St.Tomas Aquinas

Laws can be unjust . . . by
being contrary to the
divine
good, as are tyrannical laws that induce men to idolatry or to
do anything else that is contrary to divine law. It is not permissible to obey such laws in any
way at all” (
ST I-II
