I commend the Pope for condemning the evils of homosexuality and abortion. Homosexuality is a troubling moral and social phenomenon that is destroying the family. Dr. Francis Collins, who received the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his work sequencing the human genetic code, has proven that homosexuality is not genetically “hardwired.” The Bible condemns it outright.
Legalised abortion is a true disaster that has been unleashed throughout the world and is turning it into a planet of death. Abortion affects not only the unborn child, but also the mother who has conceived and all the people involved (i.e., the baby’s father, the grandparents, health care workers). Since the legalisation of abortion the population has been prematurely aging and is dying of sadness and despair.
Legalised abortion is a “right” protected by a false freedom that leads women to do violence against their own bodies. Psychologically, each one of these mothers will be wounded for life. They will succeed in removing “something” that today she finds bothersome, but she will not be able to remove from her mind and heart what she has done. To choose to extinguish in cold blood a life given by God, to reduce to dust and ashes the body of a human being made in His image and likeness, should make us shudder.
