MD: About abortion, let me explain, there are pills, the morning after, I think some schools even provide 'rain coats'. That being the case, why get pregnant if you do not want to? Aborting a healthy foetus I believe is morally wrong. The mother if not immediately, will suffer for this immoral act. At the same time, so many couples in America are on the waiting list with the adoption agencies, so why not deliver the healthy baby and give it out for adoption. The only reason could be the mothers are concerned about keeping their figure. But the mother will always have thought about the child she aborted. Prevention is better than cure, is it not? This is not an issue that only concerns Catholic Bishops, this is Humanitarian issue. What do Pro-Lifers comment about this?
Response: MD, I am one with you. I consider abortion where the health of the mother is not in danger as a crime. Life is sacred and no one has the right to destroy life, except in exceptional circumstances. I was earlier asociated with Mother Teresa's MC in Bombay and have seen for myself how they have accepted unwanted babies and looked after them so well and placed them for adoption. I have even seen some of these babies grow up in their adopted homes into beautiful individuals. One child was so musically talented that she cut discs in Australia after her parents migrated there. We all need to value life from the womb to the tomb. The moment we are sensitised to life, it will be very difficult to hate annd kill any human being or for that matter any living being.
