10 Reasons Why Abortion Is Evil

Pro-family Americans must vigorously oppose abortion. Our future society depends on the strength of the family. If abortion continues destroying it and morality is not boldly defended, America will eventually disintegrate as a nation.
The annual March for Life in Washington, DC draws more than 100,000 people every year.

Since the legalization of abortion in 1973, over 42 million unborn children have been killed, more than the entire population of Spain. Today abortion kills 1 baby every 20 seconds. That means by the time you finish reading this article, more than 30 innocent lives will be lost. God’s plan for them will be mercilessly ruined.

You cannot remain indifferent or idle before such an immense human slaughter. Here are three ways you can help TFP Student Action make abortion an issue on campus this January:

1. WRITE a letter to the editor of your college or local newspaper, letting students know that abortion offends God, why you oppose it and how it destroys the family.

2. ALERT as many of your student friends or family members as possible about this initiative, urging them also to write letters to their local newspapers against abortion.

3. PRAY to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary in reparation for the sins of abortion, for the conversion of sinners and America’s return to God’s Law.

TFP Student Action is contacting hundreds of college students, urging them to join this promising “letter to the editor campaign” in defense of the unborn. Just imagine the tremendous impact hundreds of anti-abortion letters will have when they simultaneously appear in college newspapers across the nation.

Letters to the editor can be an effective way to rally support. A George Washington University student affiliated with TFP recently sent a letter to the editor of The Hatchet, defending traditional family values against the homosexual movement. His letter was published and six students sent him congratulation e-mails for courageously speaking out.

That does not mean your letter will not upset a few pro-aborts. However, your letter will also ENCOURAGE the God-fearing students on your campus who may feel isolated and alone.

That is why it is so important that you – together with many other students – get involved with this campaign. It is an opportunity to peacefully, legally, and logically express unwavering defense of the unborn and God’s law.

Now is the time to act. The pro-life movement is gaining momentum. On November 5, 2003 President Bush signed the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, outlawing a particularly heinous form of infanticide. In Texas, pro-life contractors successfully boycotted the construction of a $6.2 million dollar abortion clinic. You can join their efforts.

Please submit your letter to the editor to your campus newspaper soon. Your letter will have a better chance of getting published if you submit it before the January 22 anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision.

These "10 Reasons Why Abortion Is Evil" will help you compose your letter.

1. Abortion Offends God
Abortion is never a mere personal choice but a grave offense against God and His creation. The anti-abortion struggle has always been a religious battle and foremost in its ranks have been Catholics across the country. This is because Church teaching on abortion is clear and unequivocal: Abortion is murder. There are no exceptions allowed, no compromises possible.

2. The Unnoticed War
The continuing war on terror has lead to a renewed national consciousness of the high price of war, and, for many, a heightened desire for peace. Yet, despite all this concern, the most horrible war of all has gone all but unnoticed. This is a war going on within our own borders, and it has claimed 42 million American lives in the last 31 years.

This scourge is as horrible as anything terrorists can fathom, because it strikes at the very core of humanity and our country: the family. By destroying the most basic human bond of all—that between mother and child—abortion dissolves the precious glue that binds our nation together.

While mother and child are the first victims, there is not a single element of society that is not affected by abortion. Mother, child, father, husband, aunt, uncle, friend, sibling and grandparent alike suffer the scars of the abortionist’s scalpel. Peace abroad is meaningless without peace at home.

3. Life starts at the moment of conception
This is the definition given in any respectable medical textbook. To declare a beginning of life at any point after the fusing of a wife’s egg and a husband’s contribution is irrational and an exercise in sophistical chicanery. Only machines such as clocks and cars come into existence part by part. Living beings come into existence all at once and gradually unfold their world of innate potential. A living human begins to exist at the moment of conception, even though only as a cell. What is important is not the accident of size or weight but the essence – which is fully human. The unborn baby has a distinct, unchanging and unrepeatable genetic code, unique in all of history, from the moment of conception till death. Nothing is added except nutrition and oxygen.1

4. Mankind must protect life whenever possible
The first and foremost instinct of humans is preservation of life. This begins with self-preservation, and extends to all humanity through domestic bonds and realization of a like nature. "Pregnancy termination" stops the beating heart of a growing human being and is in direct contradiction to this most basic premise of human nature. It forsakes natural law, and has left America as a country unable to repopulate itself without the aid of mass immigration.

5. Abortion is an unsafe procedure
Compared with other medical procedures, the abortion industry is largely unregulated. Although there are no exact statistics for the number of women who die from botched procedures, LifeDynamics.com compiled a list of 347 women killed by legal abortions since 1973.2 Furthermore, according to the National Cancer Institute, an induced abortion raises a woman's chance of getting cancer before age 45, by 50%. If the abortion is performed after age 30, it increases 110%; if before age 18, it goes up 150%.

The Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer reports: "28 out of 37 worldwide studies have independently linked induced abortion with breast cancer. Thirteen out of fifteen studies conducted on American women report increased risk. Seventeen studies are statistically significant, sixteen of which found increased risk. Most of the studies have been conducted by abortion supporters."3

6. Embryonic stem-cell and human cloning research: 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.

7. Breaking the abortion cycle
Abortion is evil because it created a horrific abortion cycle that perpetuates this sin. The abortion mentality destroys the family by making it more difficult for new Americans who survive beyond the womb to find the family welded together by the indissoluble bond of marriage solely between a man and a woman. Children need families that will nurture them, guard their innocence and develop their personalities. In particular, all children must find within their homes the Faith that enables them to know, love and serve God in this world and be happy with Him forever in the next. As long as the traditional family remains in crisis, we will never sever the power lines that supply the abortion mills. As long as the Faith remains dead in souls, we will never wipe out the moral rot of sexual immorality, which is the contaminated soil where the abortion movement grows and flourishes.

8. Roe v. Wade: 31 Years of Lies
The 31st anniversary of the Supreme Court’s infamous Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion-on-demand calls to mind the biggest pack of lies ever set in motion - lies that have cost the lives of more than 42 million innocent babies cruelly torn from their mothers' wombs. How can such slaughter, numerically on par with Hitler's Germany or Stalin’s Russia, be tolerated by the present United States of America, a republic purportedly based on moral values and human rights?

9. Addressing an abortionist
Once you were an enchanting child, as all babies are. Today you are an abortionist, a killer of babies. Do you not regret your wicked deeds? Do you not see the innocent blood of our children that stains your hands and cries out to God? Have you no shame as did our first parents when they sinned against God? Why do you not turn to Him today, seek His forgiveness and His strength never again to murder the innocent? Would you not rather bring children into the world than destroy them? Children you could raise with respect for life to take the place of those you robbed from God?

10. The dangerous slippery slope
Yesterday it was contraception. Today it's abortion, the murder of unborn children, and same-sex "marriage." Will it be euthanasia tomorrow? Then what...? Once abortion is universally accepted, what logical arguments will stop euthanasia and other forms of murder?

Other helpful tidbits
- The unborn baby"s heart starts beating at 20 days4 and the brain gives off brainwaves at 40 days.5 If these factors are used by the law to determine death, why can't they be used to determine life?
- Babies can survive outside the womb at 21 weeks.6
- By 14 weeks, the entire body surface, except the back and top of the head, are sensitive to pain.7
- The embryo is not a blueprint that becomes a human being, any more than a paper blueprint becomes a house.8
 
"In 1983, more than 15 million unborn children have had their lives snuffed out by legalized abortions since 1973. That is over ten times the number of Americans lost in all our nation's wars." (President Ronald Reagan).

Today, in 2003, in the USA:
- 4,400 abortions are made daily.
- 1,606,000 annually.
- 45 million babies have been killed by legalized abortions since 1973.
99% of all US abortions are done simply because of convenience
Don't be fooled into thinking that abortion is just to help those that are in a "need". Abortion has become a $700 million on-demand industry and a lot of that money comes from your tax dollars.

Worldwide:
- 53 million abortions per year.
- One million abortions per week.
- A total of 1,500 million babies killed by legalized abortions since 1973... That is 1/3 of our generation murdered without any chance... hundreds of times more than all the wars and pests combined during the last 30 years in the world... yes, it is the largest and most horrible holocaust in the history of humankind.

Of the women having abortions: 79.4% are unmarried, 26.6% are teenagers, and 20% are "repeat customers"

Legalized abortion is an obvious injustice to the father of the baby, because he has no word on the decision of the abortion of his child... only the mother takes the decision!.

It is a monstrosity, because it is the mother who orders the killing of her own baby... only in 1976, over 600 abortions were made in New York after the fifth month of pregnancy... and it is performed by the so called Medical Doctors, with the assistance of the so called Registered Nurses, in the so called Hospitals or Health Clinics...

... And, of course, those humans killed are defenseless innocent children.

Legalized abortion is the greatest moral crisis facing our country today... the revered Mother Teresa, who works in the streets of Calcutta ministering to dying people in her world-famous mission of mercy, has said that "the greatest misery of our time is the generalized abortion of children."... and she adds: "If you don't want the little child, that unborn child, give him to me."
 
You have a source for those numbers, because I have never heard anything nearly as high as 42 million...

As for the act itself--- keep it legal....it offends God and it offends me, but the number of women receiving abortions does not decrease where abortions are illegal--- it just makes it more dangerous and can cause the loss of two lives.

Better to make it safe and legal and just live your own life whatever way you want (such as abortion-free) than to endanger the lives of women that have no qualms with abortion.

Same with drugs.

You're a pot dealer, you dig it.
 
How about you pro lifers collect all of your own money to take care of all these kids with dependant parents? Step up to the plate and quit asking me to take care of people that can't take care of themselfs by their own will. The biggest problem with abortion with these people is it costs over $300.00. They know they can't take care of the kid, and I have to give them credit to have enough honor not to ask the population to take care of the kid for them.

One point of view.
 
Abortion is THE DEVIL!!!! Now I'm not going to do anything to help these poor, unwanted babies but I will force the parents to have them anyways. God knows what he's doing....

OK--living your life by the bible is not a bad thing. In fact, it is mostly good IMO, and I am not a believer. But, you are a fanatic, and even Mother Teresa thought that the fanatics are a problem. Death penality for pro choicers is exactly what she was refering to, for one example.

to me---your evil!
 
I missed the sarcasm at first.

I don't think it was scarcasim. I don't see pro lifers at the abortion clinics handing out money to help the kids that can't be taken care of by their parents. It is typical idealistic, unrealistic of these people not to want to step up to the plate more than people that don't agree with them. Myself, if i feel strongly about something more than another, I would expect me to be the one who steps up to the plate before the other. Otherwise--it is just hot air of utopian dreams.

I understand the points on both sides. It is a toughie for me. Evidently it is a toughie for our society also. I do think this though. If I would have had that child with my old GF 20 some years ago, I might be on welfare today, living off of your hard earned money. I am not proud of what happened, and I learned from it (I was just a kid). The fact is, most abortions happen by people that know they can't afford to take care of a child fairly, and help them gain advantages to be productive members of society. Raising a kid to be dependant is pretty evil also.

You're both right! I was being sarcastic, but I was using pro-lifer logic to show how hypocritical some of them are.

Sarcasm is pretty tough to convey when its your first thought on a subject such as this. Particularly given that people do hold views akin to your sarcasm. Food for thought.
