More support for anti abortion legislation

Dear Editor,

I commend the Dominican Republic for implemented a new constitution which defends life “from conception to natural death.” The new constitution which outlaws abortion took effect on January 26.

Legalized abortion is a true disaster that has been unleashed throughout the world and is turning it into a planet of death. Abortion affects not only the unborn child, but also the mother who has conceived and all the people involved (i.e., the baby’s father, the grandparents, health care workers.

Since the legalization of abortion the population has been prematurely aging and is dying of sadness and despair.

Legalized abortion is a “right” protected by a false freedom that leads women to do violence against their own bodies. Psychologically, each one of these mothers will be wounded for life. They will succeed in removing “something” that today she find bothersome, but she will  not be able to remove from her  mind and heart what she has done. To choose to extinguish in cold blood a life given by God, to reduce to dust and ashes the body of a human being made in His image and likeness, should make us shudder.

Science clearly tells us that full human life begins at conception with the formation of a genetically complete, self-directing human entity, the embryo. Life does not result from an organism when it has been built up, but the vital principle builds up the organism of its own body. Abortion, therefore, is in every circumstance, murder.

Ultimately, those who support abortion cannot coherently answer the question why the right of the fetus not to be killed must yield to the right of individual freedom.

When the law accepts that the rights of the weakest may be violated, it also accepts that the law of the jungle prevails over the rule of law. When we begin to call even an embryonic human being a “thing” or a “clump of cells”, progress becomes blind and destructive.

The respect for every human life is an essential condition if a societal life worthy of the name is to be possible. When man’s conscience loses respect for life as something sacred, he inevitably ends by losing his own identity. To claim the right to abortion and to recognize that right in law, means to attribute to human freedom a perverse and evil significance: that of an absolute power over others and against others. This is the death of true freedom.

Ultimately, free will cannot be cited as justification for society to allow moral choices that strike at the most fundamental rights of others. The so called “right” to abortion championed by feminists and abortion supporters ends up enslaving women because they are turned into instruments of sexual gratification. If the woman can abort without restrictions, the man is free of any responsibility as father, leaving the woman as his tool of sexual gratification in a position of “non-equality”.

Let us fight for life. Life is the future of man, never death.

Regards,
Paul Kokoski

    Is this our response to the suggestion to strengthen the laws against murder?

    Abortion is man trying to play God as the genesis of all sins are. We have a pregnancy it will interfere with our plans so we get rid of it.

    “OUR PLANS”. We completely forget that our lives belong to the creator, so are our plans, our posessions, everything. Time and again the Bible warns of the sacretness of life all life.

    What if Moses mother could not afford him, should she would have destroyed him?
    Should we not look and emulate the faith of Mary and Joseph to keep the son of God, even though he was not Joseph’s Son?

    Where would we be if these two Godly people had thought like we think today, about unwanted pregnancies?

    If a child is conceived of incest or rape, should we kill him/her because of the wickedness of the father? Since when two wrongs make a right?

    The issue of the risk of the Mother or child should be delivered through prayer to the hands of God?

    Why can’t we simply OBEY GOD AND LEAVE THE CONSEQUENCES TO HIM>

    It is easy for anyone to just seat and belch negative views towards abortion in light of their religious views. However, unless these very people are at the same times speaking out against the unnecessary killing of human life in wars, controlled famine, capital punishment, ect, ect I see their anti abortion rhetoric as just belches of hot air.

    Ethics are applicable and make sense to an individual depending on what side of the fence that individual is personally seating. Would that individual express the same negative views towards abortion if she was a woman pregnant with complications and might lose her life (and even that of the child) if the pregnancy is continued? Would that individual express the same negative views towards abortion if his daughter was raped and impregnated by her rapist? Would that individual express the same negative views towards abortion if his mentally retarded family was constantly sexually taken advantage of by men and impregnated?

    I say, to each his own! If the hat is not on your head, it is easy to seat and belch negative views towards abortion and spread your religious ideologies but PLEASE do not expect we the people who are in the kitchen and feeling the heat!

    My dear people, give people a chance to express themselves. Not everyone shares your opinion on the issue of abortion. You have the right to be for abortion, others have the right to be against it. SHATE MAN.

    ummmm, this is non sense, everyone has thier views on abortion, i believe it should be legal. dont make choices for all women on earth we have our own minds. Its entirely up to them wheter or not to perform an abortion. yes all life is but its all up to them. Everyone believes on God right? well its not your job to judge them judge yourselves cause most people who are against abortion carry gr8t sins also.

    Paul and not ashamed to speak

    Do you see the kind of poverty that destitute parents are bringing children in this world to face.? Or you are blinded by your own moral compass?

    I think that people like you that want to force mothers to bring children on this world through you’all misguided moral compass, by using the law should be forced to feed and clothe these children when their parents cant afford.. See if you all won’t start singing a different tune…

    Having kids and not being able to support them (poverty or neglect) should also be a crime and a deadly sin.
