Not Killing Babies Must Be a Moral Priority

The pro-choice siren has seduced its victims for decades using the melody of “women’s health,” but now we can see that she seduces only unto death, not health.

Written by Tenebras Lux | Monday, February 4, 2019

This is how moral priorities shift. Abortion has always been immoral, even evil. But as long as it was an argument in the abstract – safely out of sight, sound, touch, and smell – it was too tempting and too easy for too many people to ignore its reality. The recent law in New York, and this recent legislation in Virginia, have made that reality much more evident, and people are realizing more and more that not killing babies needs to be a moral priority.

 

Sometimes the siren-song of evil lets out a roar—exposing a horror that has been masked by seduction.

This happened in Virginia this week.

Delegate Tran admitted to a panel of legislators that a proposed law authored by human hands would allow for the murder of a child while being delivered. The sitting governor – also a human – carried the argument further that this child could likewise be murdered after delivery. All it would take is an agreement between the mother and a single physician – or worse, a physician convincing the mother — that having the child would in some way impair the mother’s mental or physical health.

In each of my four children’s birth sequence, their mother’s physical and mental health was impaired – and each of them were fairly normal births (except in one case she did receive an epidural). But every single delivery carries risk to the physical and mental well-being of the mother; and every single delivery does indeed impair the physical and mental health of the mother. Black’s Law Dictionary defines what it means to be impaired: “to weaken, diminish, or relax, or otherwise affect in an injurious manner.”[1] Is there any mother that has not been diminished in some way by the trauma of childbirth?

So we have a scenario now, which the pro-abortion sponsors have been forced to admit, in which doctors and mothers may be persuaded in any case whatsoever to declare that the murder of an infant is in all respects justified under the law.

The pro-choice siren has seduced its victims for decades using the melody of “women’s health,” but we might be grateful that more potential victims now can see that she seduces only unto death, not health.
