I'm just bumping this thread to let everyone know that the lady in question gave birth to a healthy baby girl last week, and both the mother and child are doing well. Thanks so much for all the prayers from members of this forum. You helped to save two people from destruction, a little baby and her mother. Deo Gratias!
Wonderful!
A quick clarification:
Previously you said that she was considering
having an abortion. This is the antiseptic language of the world. Abortions aren't
had,
gotten, or
performed. Abortions are
inflicted,
committed,
perpetrated.
Related:
Those who
inflict,
commit,
perpetrate abortions (better:
surgical infanticides) are not to be honored with the name of doctors. Rather, let's call them
surgical hitmen or
surgical terrorists.
Nor are those who hire surgical terrorists victims. They're
co-conspirators.
Putting it all together, we get something like this:
"Jane took out a contract on her baby's life by hiring a surgical hitman to commit infanticide."
Or:
"Shaquilla is considering hiring a hitman to perpetrate surgical infanticide."
In other words, let's refuse any longer to accede to supposed moral neutrality of the brave new world.
"A country that legalizes the murder of its own children is doomed."
-Dietrich von Hildebrand
