While I understand your question, I think it is an odd way to ask it. For example, if someone was killing everyone in your family, would you ask what better alternative there is for the murderer? Alternative is the key word here, like abortion is just one of the many different acceptable choices one can make. Abortion is unacceptable.
There are alternatives to abortion. Your example is poor.
Funny. I seem to recall that there did exist a time before ABC was widely or legally available, obviously fewer people were using it than now for that reason alone. I seem to recall that at the same time there were NOT more abortions happening per capita or anything like.
Apparently we do. Too many people ignore NL. The Catholic Church is the deposit of Faith. Why wouldn’t we need it? However, the Catholic Church doesn’t make an imprint and speak for those of other faiths who believe abortion is a heinous crime. Where does that belief come from?
I’m not sure we can say anyone ignores NL. I think it more likely we have various ideas of what NL is. Those with one interpretation can then say those with other interpretations ignore NL. As each interpretation points to the others saying the others are wrong, we face the question of how we know what discernment is correct.
Nature/ Natural Law is quite jealous. There is always a consequence for ignoring it. Some consequences are of great magnitude, others very small, but there is always a logical and natural consequence when balance in nature is ignored or humans decide to take into their own hands what should be left to nature.
That’s an intersting opinion. Under that theory, we could simply wait for the consequences of actions to see if NL was properly discerned. That, of course, would open the door to judgement of the consequences as desirable or undesirable. But, I wonder what one would do if conflicting views of NL yeilded the same result?
And then there are logical consequences to consider.
I thought we* had* considered that this topic deserves a new thread?
kpeople::hey_bud:That could be, but I don’t understand. Can you elaborate?
Elts1956 It’s time to start a** new thread** to** elaborate** for our friend, Willie.(otherwise affectionately know as"circlular":hypno:man) He has already won the golden ticket and the tour of the Chocolate factory, but we’re afraid he won’t stop until he gets Sluggworth’s ***everlasting ***gobstoppers.:takeoff: (just havin’ some fun, no offense intended) If an administrator doesn’t close the thread, can someone show me how to make an appeal? Thanks!
You’re right, abortion is evil. Now we have to stop it.
You missed the point of the post COMPLETELY.
Hi, Limerick,
But thanks for your suggestion, and I hope you are doing well! Blessings to you.I understand that there are all these resources but not everyone who has an abortion qualifies for these resources. Many people who have abortions fall above the financial minimum for many of these services. Also, you raise a child. Not a baby. Many of these resources end after the first year. Where does she find day care? Health care? Education? If she is not at poverty line or below good luck finding resources.
