On Abortion

The only alternative to child sacrifice is self-sacrifice.
  The problem with the prevalence of abortion at this time in history is not poverty or over-population or unwed mothers--it is selfishness.
  Mother Teresa said: It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you can live as you wish.
  Many people think having sex is a need that you can't do without, like eating, sleeping or drinking water. They don't understand that the primary reason sexual intercourse was created was for procreation. The pleasure part is secondary. When something interferes with their pleasure (like a baby) they look at it as just that--interference. They are even willing to go so far as to sacrifice their child for their selfish motives.
  The answer to the scourge of abortion is not just to outlaw it--some people will seek the means to have their child killed even if the original laws against it are reinstated. The answer is to teach people, especially children, the sanctity of life; the value of each and every human life, no matter how small. We must teach others the marvelous intricacy of the human mind and body; the potential value to the world of each and every person. We must teach them that every person has a purpose in this world, even if it is only to be.
  Then, and only then, will the scourge of abortion end.


For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb... . Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be.  Psalm 139:13, 16 NIV
