What it will always be...

If abortion became illegal...
One woman told me, "People must think women are stupid. If abortion were illegal and I wanted one, I sure wouldn't use a clothes hanger."
The coat-hanger argument is valid only if the unborn are not human beings, with commensurate human rights. Typically those appealing to the emotions through the use of this argument completely avoid the real issue, since it is easier to talk about coat-hangers than dead children.
[Since 90% of pre-Roe v. Wade abortions were done by doctors--it is safe to assume, however horrific--that there would remain doctors who would continue to commit this genocide. Additionally, with the introduction of 'the morning after pill,' and its newest counterpart 'ella,' chemical abortions would continue through these methods.]
Abortion is horrific primarily because it is a process in which instruments of death invade a woman's body and kill her innocent child. Neither laws nor slogans nor attractive waiting rooms nor advanced medical equipment can change the nature of abortion.
What it is it will always be--the killing of children.
--Excerpt from Prolife Answers to Prochoice Arguments, Randy Alcorn (1995).

"What sow where the ground makes it its care to destroy the fruit? Where there are many efforts at abortion? Where there is murder before birth? For you do not even let the harlot remain a mere harlot, but make her a murderer also. You see how drunkenness leads to whoredom, whoredom to adultery, adultery to murder; or rather something even worse than murder. For I have no real name to give it, since it does not destroy the thing born but prevents its being born. Why then do you abuse the gift of God and fight with his laws, and follow after what is a curse as if a blessing, and make the place of procreation a chamber for murder, and arm the woman that was given for childbearing unto slaughter?"
--St. John Chrysostom, ca. 340-407 AD

"My Immaculate Heart will triumph over this ailing and materialistic humanity, bent on the mad search for pleasure and comfort, which has built a new civilization without God and has again become pagan, after almost two thousand years since the first announcing of the Gospel...
My Immaculate Heart will triumph over all my poor children, who are carrying the cross of unspeakable suffering of these last times of the purification and the great tribulation. How many are those who are far away! How numerous are the victims of my Adversary, who has established in the world today the summit of his diabolical power."
--June 30, 1994 [Valdragone]; Interior locutions of Fr. Stefan Gobbi, MMP; To the Priests--Our Lady's Beloved Sons, (2009).

40 Days for Life Fall Campaign
Today, let us pray for the conversion of abortionists and all those who work for them. And let us pray that women who are suffering because of choosing abortion will find the healing power of the mercy of Christ.
