CATHOLIC PRO-LIFE TEACHING SUPPORTS MURDER
Roman Catholicism, in common with some other faiths, teaches that abortion is
never justified. It also excommunicates anyone who has an abortion. The
teaching is clear: abortion at any stage is murder for life begins at
conception.
As abortion at a very early stage does not feel as scary as it does at a later stage it follows that early abortion is the biggest sin because it is so much easier and if people know of women who have had early abortion it will not seem bad or intolerable and thus they will be okay with it eventually.
Whoever accuses a woman who has an early abortion for whatever reason of
murder is not pro-life for it is a kind of murder to call somebody a murderer.
The easiest murders are done in the guise of self-defence. Such killers
will be incorrigible.
It is usual for religion to teach that it is correct to kill one person if it is
absolutely necessary to save more. Even pacifists have to subscribe to this
though they will tell you they do not believe it.
Anyway, Catholics and most Protestants claim that it is right to kill some to
save more. And even if the law of the land does not approve for God's law comes
first.
Amazingly, this rule is dropped when it comes to abortionists. The Church will
savagely condemn anyone who shoots abortionists to prevent the so-called murder
of hundreds of unborn children. This is because approbation will hand it into
hot water with the law. It will lie about the law of God and about morality to
protect itself. It would rather be an accessory to the mass-murder of what it
sees as innocent persons and the most reprehensible form of murder than be in
jail. This is the same religion that instructs people to be ready to go to jail
for the sake of its Jesus. People are not allowed to condemn their faith to get
out of being victims of persecution. This is the religion that claims to be true
to a man who was crucified for his beliefs. It is spitting on the cross
metaphorically speaking. It is loathing the man it calls the Son of God and who
said that whatever we do to the least of his brethren we do to him.
One wonders what kind of mentality the Church has. She is definitely making sure
that the babies are treated as nothing and then she has the nerve to proclaim
that she really believes in their pricelessness.
The Church's teaching seems inconsistent to Catholics considering shooting
abortionists dead.
They feel they are killing to save lives.
They believe that even if killing is heinous it is not in this case because the
abortionists have murdered and deserve to be killed. What the victim deserves
makes a difference to the wickedness of the crime. They think that they are
merely dispensing justice.
Those who are against the killings have different views outlined as follows:
Some say that the killings are wrong not in themselves but because they will
engender sympathy for the abortionists.
Some add that the killings will set back the pro-life cause.
Some theologians say that even when you are fighting to save your life or that
of other persons that your intention must not be to kill but to stop harm being
done and if the other person is killed that is not a sin or your fault. They say
then that killing abortionists is a sin for one intends to kill. They don't mean
what they say because intending to kill people is acceptable if it is the only
way to stop them killing and it's about sacrificing a few to save many.
Also, they say that as God sets up the state to mete out justice, nobody has the
right to take the law into their own hands and that the only way abortion is to
be fought is by converting people to the belief that it is a wrong that must be
stopped and by using legal sanction. But that implies that the killing need not
be sinful in itself. What is sinful is the lawbreaking not the killing. Also,
Christianity has always advocated breaking the law for grave reasons if the law
is unjust and illegitimate.
The Church says that abortion is murder but not the same kind of murder as
somebody going out killing people. So it says that you can shoot the abortionist
but the mother could still get rid of her baby. You can shoot the person who is
killing people and stop the crimes. It seems to be suggesting that shooting
abortionists is not very effective and so isn't justified. But if there were
enough shooters it would be reasonably effective in saving the lives of babies.
The Church annuls what it says by admitting that babies starting off in life
should be given priority over people that have lived to adulthood and beyond.
This implies that two adults should give their lives for one baby.
You can’t defend the Church by saying that it may think that killing the doctors
will not stop abortion. It would if enough of them were killed. And it would put
many doctors off becoming abortion doctors. People agree that they would shoot
the Nazi killers dead to save some lives even if it meant shooting only one at a
time. These people might say that the excuse that there is no point in shooting
them for somebody else will do the killing for them is nothing more than an
excuse. The Church says life is supremely precious which would mean it was worth
it to shoot an abortion doctor so that many abortions would be put off for at
least a few days over it which would grab the babies more time and prolong their
lives a bit and maybe some mothers would even decide to keep the babies.
The Church refers to the example of Christ who didn't use violent means to
protect himself though it was justified. This is hardly a reason not to be
violent. And the teaching that it was justified implies that you can use
violence to stop abortion if you choose.
The Church say that violent opposition to abortion is not going too far but not
going far enough. It means that instead of trying to take the lives of
abortionists we should be willing to give up our lives to save the unborn. Are
they suggesting that you should suicide bomb abortion clinics as long as you are
sure nobody else will die? We don't see any other case of where someone might
have to sacrifice his or her life to save babies.
If the Church wants a stop to doctors being shot dead the Church should agree
with abortion.
To teach the extreme pro-life view that life begins at conception is undeniably
an incitement to murder and hate abortion doctors. Even if pro-life people are
against abortion they still would agree with the notion that a person should be
murdered if you know it will stop him killing others.
If the Church really believed that unborn babies were human beings she would
decree that women who terminated their pregnancies should be tried and
imprisoned for murder. She does not. If abortion is murder then it is the worst
type of murder there is. It is a woman killing her own child in a brutal fashion
to save herself a few months bother and refusing to get it adopted out at the
end of these few months. It is more evil to commit a murder when you won’t have
to pay for it for that is dodging your due as well. Church, if you really
believe abortion is murder then campaign for prison sentences for women who
abort. Don’t pretend you believe they are any different from women who give
birth and then murder the child. You are trying to butter people up by
pretending this very thing to get influence over them and money off them.
Campaign for it will never work. We will stand by women who have abortions as we
should. We will not let you hurt women with your cruel attitude to them but
thankfully you don’t have the nerve to put into practice.
The Catholic Church teaches that it is a grave sin for a Christian not to have
their baby baptised. It says the loving of God is the greatest commandment. Thus
the Church should be not so much pro-life but pro-baptism. It should be against
abortion for it stops babies being baptised. That should be its paramount
concern.
The pope and Mother Teresa have claimed that abortion leads to a downslide in
reverence for life and so it leads to war and other terrible things by the
attitude it instils. What about the Christian insistence that it is not people
who matter but God and that God alone is to be loved? It will lead to less
reverence for life and any believer who loves to preserve life is doing it in
spite of their faith. If abortion seems to do what they say then it is not
abortion that does it - unless it is a very late and needless abortion - but
their doctrine that abortion is murder all the time. People who say abortion is
murder and don’t advocate the imprisonment of abortionists or their
assassination are hardly a good example for the reverence of life. They are
like, “Let us pretend to oppose abortion because we love to see life protected
and nurtured. It is only the troublemaking we are into, we don’t take the life
thing that seriously.”
People who would not allow safe abortion even if the statistics for women having
backstreet abortions and risking their lives were sky high are not as pro-life
as they pretend to be.
