After the US now in Europe - Pray and fight to stop the sin of abortion!
America takes the turn to pro-life. When will Europe follow?
“Thou shalt not kill.” So reads one of God’s ten commandments. Binding and clear. You must not end the life of an innocent person. That’s what we all stand for, don’t we?
The reality is different.
With the approval of legislators and the collaboration of the medical establishment, a genocide is taking place every day. The genocide of abortion.
With sharp forceps, the abortionist cracks the baby’s skull. Piece by piece, he removes the bone from the uterus.
It is an operation that turns your stomach.
That is why the abortion lobby likes to speak in veiled language. Abortion is the ‘termination of pregnancy’. It is absurd language - as if you describe a husband murdering his wife as ‘termination of marriage’.
Abortion kills children. That is the horrible reality. But a reality that can be overcome!
Look at the United States. There, the Supreme Court has overturned the Roe vs. Wade verdict. Abortion is no longer a ‘constitutional right’. An important step towards the effective protection of unborn children.
When will Europe follow? Today rather than tomorrow.
Because even today more than 2,000 children are killed on our continent. A crime against humanity. And a slap in the face of our loving God, Creator of all life!
A principled, not a personal stance
The aim of this brochure is to defend the right to life of unborn children, according to the teachings of the Catholic Church. In no way do we intend to slander any person. We simply exercise our freedom as children of God (Rom. 8:21), so that “every tongue would confess to the glory of God the Father that Jesus Christ is Lord.” (Phil. 2:11).
10 reasons why abortion is an evil and a sin
The Church is clear: performing abortion is tantamount to murder
Every year, 1,000,000 children are aborted in Europe. By the time you have finished reading this brochure, another 15 children will have been killed. A line will be drawn through the plan that God had made for these people. Can we remain indifferent to such an immense slaughter? NO.
Read the top 10 reasons why abortion is a sin and why we must continue to oppose it.
Reason 1: Abortion offends God
Abortion is not just a personal choice. It is a grave insult to God and His creation. The fight against abortion has always been a religious fight, a fight mainly carried out by Catholics worldwide. This is because the teaching of the Catholic Church in this area is very clear and unambiguous: to perform an abortion is tantamount to murder. No exceptions are allowed, no compromise is possible.
Reason 2: Our deadliest war
The war of terror that is constantly being waged for the sake of abortion has led to a new national awareness of the enormity of the cost of this struggle. For many, it has also brought about a desire for peace. In spite of this, the worst war continues unabated. This is a war without borders that kills more than 40 million people a year worldwide. Such a terrible affiiction surpasses even the worst terrorism. This scourge strikes at the heart of humanity: the family. By destroying the most basic bond - that between the mother and the child - abortion dissolves the precious glue that holds our country together.
Although the mother and child are the first victims, there is no element of our society that is not affected by abortion.
Mother, child, father, husband, aunt, uncle, friend, sibling and grandparents all suffer the scars of the abortionist’s knife. Peace abroad means nothing without peace at home.
Reason 3: Life begins at conception
Whether old or young, big or small... You’re a HUMAN
This definition is found in every respectable medical textbook. It is irrational and sophistry to establish life only at a certain point after the fusion of the mother’s egg and the father’s seed. Only machines such as clocks and cars come into being part by part. Living beings begin to exist at a certain point and gradually unfold according to their genetic potential. Human life comes into being at the moment of conception, even if at that moment it consists of only a single cell. It is not the weight or the length that is important, but the being - which is fully human. The unborn child has its own, unchangeable and unrepeatable genetic code. This code will remain unique throughout life. And to the newly created being, only nutrition and oxygen will be added.
Reason 4: Humanity must defend innocent life.
The first and foremost instinct of man is to preserve life. It begins with self-preservation and extends to all mankind. Through family ties, relationships and ultimately through common belonging to the human family. “Termination of pregnancy”, as the abortion lobby calls it, stops the beating of the heart of an innocent human being and violates the basic conditions of human nature. It is a renunciation of natural laws and it has left European countries as countries unable to populate themselves without the help of mass migration.
Reason 5: Abortion is unsafe
Women who have had an abortion are 50% more likely to develop breastcancer
Compared to other medical procedures, the abortion industry is largely unregulated. Although there are no statistics on the number of women who have died as a result of a botched procedure, LifeDynamics.com has a list of 249 women who have died as a result of abortions.[1] The National Cancer Institute commissioned Dr. Janet Daling, an abortion advocate, to work with her colleagues at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center to investigate a possible link between abortion and cancer.
This study found that within a group of women who had all been pregnant at least once, those who had an abortion were 50% more likely to develop breast cancer than the others.[2] The official journal of the Catholic Medical Association, The Linacre Quarterly, also published a study with similar results: “There is a worldwide body of evidence that speaks to a correlation between abortion and breast cancer.”[3]
Reason 6: A biogenetic Tower of Babel
In a cynical but logical progression, the culture of death is now bent on engendering human life so as to destroy it. Its new frontier is embryonic stem-cell and human cloning research. In the name of science and health, human life is destroyed at its very inception and “limited” cloning is used to produce usable cells that can be manipulated and harvested to aid the living.
In short, the remaining ethical barriers that preserve human dignity and God’s rights in Creation are steadily coming down. The biotech revolution has as its avowed goal not just curing disease but the construction of a “brave new world” of genetic engineering, changing the very makeup and design of man himself. We cannot permit the completion of this challenge to God, a new Tower of Babel, which will be like another Pandora’s box, unleashing untold ethical and moral havoc on our nation.
Reason 7: Breaking the abortion cycle
Abortion destroys families
Abortion is a sin that brings many and far-reaching evils. The abortion mentality destroys the family. It makes it difficult for the young people who were lucky enough to survive the pregnancy to find a close-knit family indissolubly linked by marriage between one man and one woman. Children need families who will nurture them, protect their innocence and, even more importantly, allow them to discover their faith. This will enable them to get to know God, to serve Him, to love Him and to be happy with Him one day in the hereafter. As long as the traditional family is in danger, we will not be able to break the powers behind the abortion industry. As long as faith remains dead in the souls, we cannot deal with the sexual depravity, which is the polluted soil on which the abortion movement grows and flourishes.
Reason 8: Roe versus Wade: deadly lies
It is now 49 years since the US Supreme Court legalised provocative abortion following the infamous Roe vs Wade case. This decision was based on an unimaginable amount of lies.
Lies that live on worldwide after the Supreme Court’s recent overturning of Roe vs. Wade. Lies that claim more than 400 million lives every decade. How can such slaughter, whose casualty rate is comparable to that of the Hitler and Stalin regimes, be tolerated in the West? In a civilisation supposedly based on moral values and human rights?
Reason 9: Stop the lies!
An embryo is a human being
The unborn child’s heart starts beating on the 24th day, and brain waves are measured after only 43 days.[4] If these criteria are used to determine death, why can they not also use the same standards to determine life in a foetus in the womb? At 14 weeks, the unborn child can already feel pain. [5] From 22 weeks, premature babies can already survive outside the mother’s womb. [6] An embryo is not a “design” that only after some time becomes a human being. An embryo is a human being.
Reason 10: The slippery slope
First it was contraceptives. Then abortion and gay ‘marriage’. How long before death camps for people with undesirable ideologies are accepted? If abortion is accepted everywhere in the world, what logical arguments do we have to stop child euthanasia, ‘post-natal’ abortion and other forms of murder and tyranny...?
