The sexual act is meant to express the deep and life-long love between a husband and a wife. One natural and obvious result of that natural union is a child. This child, in physical appearance and behavior, reflects the unity and blending of his or her parents.
Should the child suffer abortion, obviously she dies. By killing the child, abortion also signifies the rejection of the unity manifested by the sexual act which produced the child. It comes as no surprise, then, that 22% of German women in a survey reported that their relationship with the father of the child ended within a year of the abortion. Many other surveys document similar breakups and relationship problems after an abortion.
Abortion destroys love and life. In this New Year, may we stand for the well-being of women, children and men by rejecting abortion at every turn. No to abortion, yes to life.
