We know it was an abortion, just as a miscarriage is an abortion.
No. no, no Jim. An abortion as we know it, and we aren't going to do this semantics game, is when we intentionality kill a baby in the womb.
It's not a miscarriage, it's intentionality killing a child.
However, what we don't know is if the medical staff ignored other possible solutions to performing the abortion. The article doesn't say this, and the Church teaching wouldn't allow the abortion even had they ruled out other solutions.
right... and the Church teaching is
Christ's teaching.
So it doesn't matter if there were other possibilities. I suspect only a person who agrees we can abort children if the mother life is at risk, thinks it matters.
We can not kill ppl to save our own life. Bottom line.
And please don't hand me the self defense line.
Your child is not deliberately attacking you, trying to kill you where you have to kill it to save your own life.
Frankly, since we are talking about our own children, if my adult child tried to murder me, I don't think I could kill him to prevent that. I would probably just let him kill me because I don't think I could ever bring myself to kill my child. But what ever.
But an unborn baby didn't ask to be conceived. The mother and/or father, for what ever the circumstance, is who brought this child into existence, so we have to take
responsibility for bringing this child into existence and taking into account their life and actually consider the child's life now,
because it has just as much value as anyones and not act as if it does get to be considered simply because it's in the womb and not outside the womb.
The Church teaches that you can not deliberately terminate the life of the fetus, except in cases where the mother's life is at stake. The problem is, the Church's teaching mandates that they wait until the life of the mother is threatened before they can do anything. It ignores modern science ability to determine that the pregnancy will in fact reach that state, and could end up killing the mother, if she happens to begin to miscarry where no medical help is available to her.
No... Jim, I'm making an appeal to you-- this is your own flawed interpretation and you are adding to the Church's teaching. You ave gone steps beyond what you should in order to justify basic abortions.
an 11 week baby was sucked into a sink... it was
aborted like it was trash, waste... it was discarded, put into the trash. No idenity- no birth certificate given- no name, nothing.. as if it wasn't human or that even existed.
It was treated like a disease. It wasn't. It was a human life.
There are moral ways to handle it... the Church would NEVER say that we will ever get to the point to abort babies in this manner!
But those treatments done while pregnant, could in fact be dangerous to the mother, which is probably why they took the path they did.
The path they did was an
abortion- the line we can not cross
even if our lives are in danger.
