The Gospel of Life...part 2

"The Way of Death is filled with people who are...murderers of children and abortionists of God's creatures."--Didache,5:1-2 (ca. 120 AD).

"The moral gravity of procured abortion is apparent in all its truth if we recognize that we are dealing with murder and, in particular, when we consider the specific elements involved. The one eliminated is a human being at the very beginning of life. No one more absolutely innocent could be imagined. In no way could this human being ever be considered an aggressor, much less an unjust aggressor! He or she is weak, defenseless, even to the point of lacking that minimal form of defense consisting in the poignant power of a newborn baby's cries and tears. The unborn child is totally entrusted to the protection and care of the woman carrying him or her in the womb. And yet sometimes it is precisely the mother herself who makes the decision and asks for the child to be eliminated, and who then goes about having it done.
Finally, one cannot overlook the network of complicity which reaches out to include international institutions, foundations and associations which systematically campaign for the legalization and spread of abortion in the world. In this sense abortion goes beyond the responsibility of individuals and beyond harm done to them, and takes a distinctly social dimension. It is a most serious wound inflicted on society and its culture by the very people who ought to be society's promoters and defenders. As I wrote in my Letter to Families, "we are facing an immense threat to life: not only to the life of individuals but also to that of civilization itself" [No. 21:AAS 86 (1994),920.]
We are facing what can be called a "structure of sin" which opposes human life not yet born." Pope John Paul II, Evangelium Vitae (1995, pp.95-97).

In 2008, the people of the United States of America voted into office the most anti-life candidate for the Presidency in this nation's history.
Barak Obama is hostile to life and promotes his anti-life views across the globe--increasing funding for Planned Parenthood,and using that money to promote abortion in every nation-- using our tax dollars.
This President utilizes all means necessary to achieve his world view that at its core is aggressively pro-abortion and anti-life.
Woe to this nation--and in particular those individuals who voted for him and continue to support him...there is no issue, no moral law higher than protecting life from the moment of conception through natural death...Woe to this nation!
We need to be on our knees praying for Divine Mercy!
