The secular media will never get it.
"We are being called to heroism by our choice of life on a daily basis."
So now the media gets to decide who is canonized and who isn't? Imagine the uproar if we were to complain about the "canonization" of Martin Luther King by the media.
My neighbor, who was 29, found out she had breast cancer when she was 4 months pregnant. She refused treatment because it would harm her child and didn't start chemo until the day her daughter was born. She died exactly one year later, which was one year ago today.
Must totally love your sub-title! Definitely agree!
This woman was indeed a personal of great moral courage and saintly character.
While I applaude her courage and conviction, and while I oppose abortion as murder, if faced with the decision to choose between my wife and an unborn child, I would unhesitatingly choose my wife.
Abortion is indefensible except to save the life of the mother, in case of rape or incest, or to prevent a monstrous birth which would lead a life of constant pain or die shortly after term anyway.
The above exceptions are rare and the overwhelming majority of abortions performed in the U.S. are to prevent the consequences of an immoral act, to prevent "inconvenience" to the parents or parent, or for other totally trivial and inexcusable reasons.
Abortion is the fruit, for the most part, of rampant immorality and a lifetsyle which views sex as a form of indoor athletics instead of a very special intimate act between two people, a man and a woman, joined in marriage.
It is the bitter fruit of the "Playboy Philosophy".
