Ons is teen aborsie?

Ons is teen aborsie?

Die kerk is teen aborsie. Die gelowiges is teen aborsie. Ons is pro-lewe. Is ons? Suster Joan Chittister, ‘n Benediktynse non en skryfster, vra die vraag of dit wel so is. Luister hierna:

 

I do not believe that just because you’re opposed to abortion, that makes you pro-life. In fact, I think in many cases, your morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born, but not a child fed, a child educated, not a child housed.

And why would I think that you don’t? Because you don’t want any tax money to go there. That’s not pro-life that’s pro-birth. We need a much broader conversation on what the morality of pro-life is.

Kan ons werklik sê dat ons pro-lewe is as daar elke dag kinders van honger en voorkombare siektes doodgaan? As ons aanhou kinders mishandel? As kinders geen toegang tot onderwys het nie? Ek dink Suster Joan Chittister het hier ‘n senuwee raak geboor.
