In the absence of chance, since life is a sacred gift,
there is a reason why, in a pile of cells, life can
already swarm, as there is the transcendental presence
of a construction plant, a sublime mold, an
extra-physical being, that is there, driven by a just
reason.
It is important to emphasize that, struck by abortion,
babies in the womb experience moments of terror, extreme
agony and panic, all of which have already been proven,
in ultrasound images verified in the act of expelling
the conceptus. The spirit, experiencing feelings of
disappointment for the betrayal, for the breach of trust
in the expected maternal reception,
depending on its evolutionary state, can rebel and yearn
for revenge, becoming pathologically magnetized with the
one who disowned him, which can contribute to the many
cases of psychological and psychiatric disorders
observed in pregnant women: fear, sadness, helplessness,
anxiety, anguish, depression, eating disorders such as
bulimia and anorexia.
Likewise, some scientific studies point to the
association that may occur between post-traumatic stress
and legal or illegal abortion. Trauma, when relived,
triggers several physical and psychological symptoms,
such as tremors, changes in heart rate, sweating, drop
in blood pressure, mental confusion, difficulty
concentrating, negative and catastrophic thoughts,
paranoia and others. Then, the patient in the
gynecological sphere is referred for psychiatric and
psychological monitoring.
Some arguments are formulated, attempting a
justification that contributes to the practice of
voluntary termination of pregnancy, listed below:
1 - Some say that an unwanted child may be a hindrance
to someone. However, the fact that an individual is a
burden on a person's life does not justify their death.
If there is no moral claim that validates the murder of
any unwanted creature, is it logical to commit, then,
the abortion of a harmless being, just unplanned?
Instead of killing him, why not refer him for adoption?
2 - Others declare that the pregnant woman's body
belongs to her, who, through the use of her free will
and her wish, can abruptly extract the conceptus from
her warm nest, a sublime refuge from her development and
growth. However, the woman cannot have this power of
decision, since the fetus is a separate being, perfectly
different from her mother. Furthermore, his spiritual
identity pre-exists in the current conflict situation.
In reality, the miniature person who is housed in the
womb has its own individuality, since what constitutes
it is the property of life, transiently prevailing in
the intimacy of the blessed maternal temple, which must
provide shelter, protection, nutrition and much love.
There is no doubt about a woman's rights over her body.
However, there is an exception in relation to
motherhood, since those who really have perks, being
endowed with important prerogatives, are, par
excellence, the baby who has intrinsic life and will
never be confused with the body of his mother;
3 - Another unreasonable argument for the legalization
of abortion concerns the protection and human rights of
poor women who practice this murder illegally. As the
baby is a being endowed with life and with its own body,
it is also granted with the recommended human rights,
reinforcing for itself the guarantee of ethical
practices, and in no way can they be indicative of legal
permission for embryonic or fetal infanticide. Thus, a
person's right cannot be the trigger that leads to the
death of another creature and no one can have the power
to do so. Does an individual who is sheltered, in the
sublime maternal crucible, during the first trimester of
pregnancy, have no moral value for society? Is it not
considered a human life? Does the fact of being very
small, in miniature, disqualify him as a human being,
being allowed to be exterminated?
Very shocking that, instead of focusing on the
implementation of culture, mainly on sex education for
young people, with instructions for contraception
methods, many institutions flaunt destruction, violence
in the sacred uterine cloister, with disastrous
guidelines, claiming abortion as a fundamental “human
right” and guaranteed free access for all women;
4 - Some pregnant women receive information from those
who are adept at abortion that the being in their
uterine cloister is made up of only a handful of cells
and is not a human being. If women had access to the
study of human embryology, they would see the
significance and grandeur of gametogenesis, that is,
fertilization (union of sex cells) and embryo
development. It is such a fantastic process that the
researchers are ecstatic, since there are not only
isolated cell divisions, without guidance and control,
what can be seen is a solemn organization of a
phenomenal physical framework.
The abortion process is already carried out, even after
twelve weeks of gestation. Around the ninth week after
fertilization, the embryo measures about 2.5
centimeters, has the human appearance and is now called
a fetus;
5 - For some individuals, human life only begins with
the presence of the heartbeat and consequent blood flow,
occurring after 4 weeks, in the developing being. Recent
research shows that the baby's heart can beat for the
first time at 16 days of pregnancy. The first organ to
be formed in the being in formation is the cardiac,
since there is a need for blood circulation, involving
the baby and the placenta.
Many adult people, with wear and tear on the electrical
system of the heart, have very slow beats (less than 40
per minute) or even pauses, and the organ may not work
for a few seconds. They then need a device, called a
pacemaker, surgically implanted in their bodies, sending
an electrical stimulus to the heart and regulating their
beats. Therefore, with the claim that before the
formation and functioning of the heart, in the embryo,
there was still no life and abortion could be performed,
certainly, those who think so establish a false
judgment, ignoring the value provided by medicine to the
lives of beings who have impaired cardiac function. The
same criterion, in relation to cardiac patients, must be
used for babies in the uterine cloister. Respect for the
person must always be in force, whether he is an embryo
or a fetus. Life always has intrinsic value, regardless
of the functioning of any organ;
6 - For some individuals, human life only begins with
the realization of full brain activity and, according to
this concept, as long as it does not occur, the
voluntary termination of pregnancy can be carried out,
killing the baby. The execution of abortion, based on
the argument that there is no value in life, in the baby
in formation, because he does not feel sensations and
feelings consciously, does not justify, since the baby
is a potential sentient. If we base ourselves on such an
attitude, should we also be in favor of sacrificing all
human beings, children and adults, who are hospitalized
in a coma?
The famous French researcher and humanist Jerome Lejeune
was the first to establish a link between a chromosomal
distortion and a human disability. The television
dialogue between him and the abortionist Monod became
famous. Prof. Lejeune asked: “Knowing that a syphilitic
father and a tuberculous mother had four children: the
first, blind from birth; the second, died shortly after
delivery; the third, deaf and dumb; the fourth,
tuberculous, and that the mother became pregnant with a
fifth child, what would you do?” Monod replied, "I would
terminate this pregnancy." The scientist emphatically
said: "Then you would have killed Beethoven".
Prof. Jerome, in his biography, left us with several
thoughts, transcribed below: “Rape is a crime, but not
committed by the child. Whoever should be punished is
the one who committed the rape”. "If there is no death
penalty for the guilty, I see no reason to institute a
death penalty for the innocent". "If a fertilized egg is
not in itself a human being, it could not become one, as
nothing is added to it".
It is incredible that many people believe it is better
to prevent, murdering the being, than to have to remedy
later, in support and adoptions. Some pro-abortion
comments really surprise us, due to their certainly
pathological and inhuman content.
In fact, we should not be surprised, since the Earth is
a planet called “World of Trials and Atonements”,
presenting itself as a place where disgrace and
misfortune predominate, sheltering many creatures
without compassion and discernment.
In truth, man is not disinherited on Earth. There is a
purpose, a goal, for his presence on the stage of life.
May Master Jesus bless us all, illuminating the steps we
have taken towards the Infinite! So be it!
