Talking to Kids about Abortion

Sorry. This is just one issue where I’m rather heated and I lose patience. There’s hope for everyone, no matter what. All that one needs is to confess their sins.
 
If you get heated and lose patience, perhaps you should avoid these discussions or look to resources like Persuasive Pro-Life. Emotions rarely help in this kind of discussion and only encourage people to entrench themselves.
 
I don’t have children, but I think educating the youth about the dignity of human life is a good idea.
 
You can and should judge between right and wrong. 🙂 and it’s always wrong to directly kill an innocent.
 
Is there some special reason you want to partake in the Eucharist? Because you are better off without receiving the Sacrament in your current state.

We’re not supposed to be popular. We’re supposed to be right. In this culture, being right is a bad thing in my opinion.
 
I just don’t want the Sacrament to be profaned for no reason, so that is why I asked.

If we can’t rely on the Catholic Church for truth in faith and morals, we don’t believe Jesus’ promise to send the Holy Spirit to protect His work on Earth. If we each decide truth for ourselves, are we not all little Popes, each with our own ideas of relative truth? It is for this reason that Jesus gave the Pope and magisterium authority to teach all of us Traditions.

There is a wealth of wisdom and knowledge in the Catholic faith, passed down from Saints and the Apostles. Yes, the teachings are challenging, but that was Jesus’ message! Take up your cross, follow him on the narrow way to heaven, come prepared to the wedding banquet. Rules are there to keep us safe and happy, and the truth sets us free. The fullness of the truth is in our Catholic faith. Aren’t we blessed? Embrace it! 🙂

Abortion has always been a personal issue for me because someone in my family I loved and looked up to had an abortion. The person did this out of ignorance many many decades ago. Had she been educated about it, I doubt she would have done it. I was crushed when I learned about it because I have always been strongly against abortions. It took a long time and the kind words of forgiveness a priest said in a homily for me to come to terms and regain the fond memories of the family member who did this.
This issue of abortions has never come up with my own kids, but because they have always known my feelings about abortions, being pro life is something that goes without saying in our family.
 
We’re not judging you specifically, but we don’t appreciate nonchalant profaning of the blessed sacrament.
 
Only God can decide who goes to Hell and who doesn’t. But this is about protecting innocent unborn lives who have no voice of their own.
 
I agree with you completely.

However, I think we can agree: Killing unborn children, no matter the reason, certainly wont help you get to heaven.
 
It won’t instantly take you to hell. As long as one lives, there’s hope of repentance.
