THE following quotation features on the website of Emily’s List Australia: “I have met thousands and thousands of pro-choice men and women.
I have never met anyone who is pro-abortion.
Being pro-choice is not being pro-abortion.
Being pro-choice is trusting the individual to make the right decision for herself and her family, and not entrusting that decision to anyone wearing the authority of government in any regard.” (Hilary Rodham-Clinton, Secretary of State, United States of Am-erica, Member Emily’s List USA)
Those words of a former US First Lady typify the insidious propaganda spread by the global feminist movement which feigns deep concern for one human person while simultaneously condoning the deliberate and often brutal killing of another.
Mrs Clinton’s statement is nonsense.
She implies that everyone she has met regards intentional abortion as a bad thing, but at the same time they believe it’s not a bad thing if a woman wants to procure one.
Does she mean to suggest that those engaged in the lucrative abortion industry are not pro-abortion?
And surely, to imply that an expectant mother who opts to terminate her pregnancy is not pro-abortion, is to mutilate the meaning of words in the English lexicon.
The website also says “We believe women must have control over their own bodies and choices in their lives …”
But when a woman undergoes an abortion she is not just exercising control over her own body, but also over the body of her unborn child.
Yet again we see the propaganda machine disseminating beguiling mischief.
And what if a distraught mother chooses to take the life of her child after giving birth?
Is that choice on a par with the claimed legitimate right to choose to kill an unborn child?
The natural law makes no distinction between the two offences but, illogically, our man-made law does
Emily’s List members appear obsessed with this subjective “right” to choose life or death for the unborn.
The widespread acceptance of deliberate abortion is a dreadful blight on our hopes for a just and moral society.
It will not be eradicated by men, for the male sex simply is not up to the task of confronting female extremists.
It will be purged only through prayer and concerted action by good women united against the moral apathy of a largely godless society.
For the sake of generations yet to come, may they be granted the grace and strength to prevail.
