The Gospel records another time Jesus thirsted, in His conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well. It is then that He promised to give us the eternal water of Baptism, for which, once partaken, we shall not thirst again. It is then for the unbaptized that He thirsts of the Cross.
Let us remember also that non-Christian can make a decision for Christ, but an unbaptized baby cannot. This should put the horror of legalized abortion in perspective for us.
I was asked privately what did I mena by “legalized” abortion.
Abortion was illegal throughout Christian history. It was legalized in the US in the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973. Originally the Row v. Wade only applied to certain gestational age of the baby, but soon other court decisions legalized abortion at any gestational age, up to the moment of complete birth, for any reason.
In many other “civilized” countries, especially Western Europe, abortion is likewise legalized although, unlike the US, they tend to have at least some restrictions. We in the US have exceptionally barbaric laws in that regard.
