Aside from the fact that you literally cannot talk to a fetus to get its opinion on the matter, you also cannot refer to a fetus as a child. Much like you cannot refer to a seed as a flower. A fetus is the beginning of a child, sure; but to imply that aborting a fetus is the same as shooting a kid in the head? Absolutely not.<br /><br />There are many reasons why a woman may want to go through with an abortion - rape, being a huge one. Are we supposed to have a rape victim go through the entire birthing process, and have a memento of her rape after 10 months? Are we to expect the mother to potentially have to change her entire life around because some man forcibly had sex with her? How about the unfit women that may have gotten pregnant? Would you really argue that a baby born to a drug-addicted mother, forced to grow up in that kind of environment is really a good thing? What about health-related issues?<br /><br />To say all women that have had abortions are terrible and/or irresponsible is not a fair statement to make. I honestly doubt that there are many women out there that just run to an abortion clinic every time they get pregnant just because they can. In fact, I'd almost be willing to wager that less than 1% of abortions were due to irresponsibility.<br /><br />I think maybe you should speak to people that have had abortions, and maybe get in touch with some clinics as well to get a better understanding of the other side of the story. While the whole premise and process of an abortion is heart-breaking, I appreciate the fact that we live in a country where a woman has the freedom of choice. I get that it's a tragedy that the would-be child has no say in their life, but during the time-frame for an abortion, the being wouldn't even have a concept of life or any sort of awareness.<br /><br />In any case, it is really not our position to be judging people on such personal and emotional decisions. We should be accepting and supporting. In some cases, we should also be there to help ensure that they have learned from the whole thing. Not by blanketing their neighborhoods with graphic images of aborted fetuses, but by talking to them.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08006026738657186807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33072925.post-13376002021968564682017-04-17T22:44:59.579-02:302017-04-17T22:44:59.579-02:30Richard, have you seen my signs in your area?

Is that why you are upset with my campaign?<br />You seem to have made up your own rules about the lives of fellow human beings, but it appears you left somebody out of the discussion. It is quite impossible to discuss the morality of abortion (which you seem to be doing) without including the unborn child (who becomes the dead victim) in the conversation. Perhaps you'd like to re-frame your comments again, this time factoring in the child.<br />God bless.ELAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663831681687729804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33072925.post-57075418201445020002017-04-17T17:28:37.294-02:302017-04-17T17:28:37.294-02:30What say have you in a woman's provate concern...What say have you in a woman's provate concerns? Abortion comes down to the man and woman involved. In the case of a rape victim, it comes down to the woman alone.<br /><br />Enough of these posters in my town - you're welcome to your thoughts and opinions, but there are more mature and professional ways to advertise and protest than posters with grotesque photographs on them. This is simply giving the church a bad name.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08006026738657186807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33072925.post-70168428763588093272015-11-07T22:52:56.735-03:302015-11-07T22:52:56.735-03:30A horrifying betrayal of the Church...A horrifying betrayal of the Church...Baronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265555388172261643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33072925.post-68332693535602451842015-11-07T10:53:02.100-03:302015-11-07T10:53:02.100-03:30Joannis,

I'm not talking about what the Archbishop said to others in his diocese but what he has a responsibility to do for Justin Trudeau's soul and in order to protect the Body and Blood of Christ from sacrilege. It's more than Canon Law, which truly applies, but also about the Supreme Law of the Church, which is the salvation of souls.ELAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663831681687729804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33072925.post-88183449246895262882015-11-07T09:48:44.427-03:302015-11-07T09:48:44.427-03:30Archbishop Prendergast wrote in May to the whole D...Archbishop Prendergast wrote in May to the whole Diocese about it, one of only about 4 bishops in Canada. You should be praising him for being one of the few who said, immediately after Trudeau's pro-abortion caucus rule, that such behaviour excommunicates themselves. Next time do due diligence. He wrote in May on every Church bulletin! joannishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313479959447420783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33072925.post-82057967019602482082015-11-06T23:25:59.909-03:302015-11-06T23:25:59.909-03:30Thank you.
