Quote from Fr. John Hardon, SJ

[Eileen_T]

“In teaching, for example, Babylonia religion which I have for several years, I would quote from Babylonian Hammurabi. Abortion was punishable by execution of the women who had the abortion and all her accomplices. Date 1800 BC, place Babylonia. And we call the Babylonians pagan! My God! What shall we call our American abortionists?” (Source: American Life League “Communique”)

I played the PBS Frontline Documentary “The Last Abortion Clinic” pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/

I find it encouraging that Clinics are closing because fewer doctors are willing to perform abortions.

Fr Hardon was a gem… some called him a great theologian, but he actually was among the createst catechists of the century. I remember having him in college, and being bored to death with his classes (course I was newly out of the church and remained out for 25 years, so what did I know.)

Sure wish I could go back to those classes now.
