The Ripple Effect of Abortion
by Fr. Frank Pavone
Abortion harms our entire culture in ways we have not even begun to
imagine. We may at times be tempted to think that we are not
individually affected by the fact that others legally abort their
children. But abortion does affect us all, personally and directly,
whether we are aware of it or not.
The pro-life movement has done much to teach the public about the
destructive harm that abortion does to the unborn child. Most people
also have been informed about the negative impact abortion has on
women's health, as a result of the multiple physical and emotional
complications of the procedure. But taking a brief look at the other
circles of destruction brought on by abortion can be an even more
sobering experience.
The Survivors
First of all, what does abortion do to the children who survive?
Psychologists have now discovered "Abortion Survivor Syndrome," a
cluster of symptoms that mimic those of the soldiers who return from
battle, and instead of feeling happy that they survived, feel guilty
and anxious. "Could I have done something to keep my army buddy from
getting killed? Why was it him and not me?"
Dr. Philip Ney, a Canadian expert and child psychiatrist, explains that
children eventually ask, "I was born because mommy wanted me. What if
she stops wanting me?"
The impact of being an abortion survivor should not be ignored as we
try to understand why children shoot other children in schools. We've
taught them to do so when we taught them that their lives were
disposable. Children will not stop killing children until parents stop
killing children.
The prospect that one could have been legally killed by his or her own
parents is also a significant obstacle for our young people to hear the
Gospel message of the Father's unconditional love for them.
>From Generation to Generation
Abortion leads to more abortion, as well as to various forms of child
abuse. One of the biggest factors that will determine whether someone
will have an abortion is whether her mother had an abortion. The
reasons have to do with the way abortion affects the maternal bond. It
weakens and distorts it, and a woman who has an abortion faces
obstacles in her relationships with later children she brings to birth.
The act of aborting a child, rather than adjusting to the changes that
childbirth brings, constitutes a failure to mature and a regression in
one's development toward adult responsibility. This failure to mature
is one of the contributing causes of child abuse.
The Helpless Cry
Abortion threatens the survival of the human species itself, because it
introduces a distortion into the human response to the infant's
helpless cry. When a crying baby awakens her parents in the middle of
the night, initial annoyance quickly gives way to tenderness toward the
child in need. The very survival of the species depends on our overall
ability to make that transition. Abortion, by definition, is a
deliberate refusal to hear and respond to the helpless cry.
Dr. Ney writes, "Human response to the helpless cry of their young
will determine if the human species survives. The helpless cry is any
sound or signal that alerts a person that some creature is in distress
and cannot help him/herself . . . Anyone with any humanity in him or
herself must react in one way or another. The helpless cry is an
essential crisis . . . It is an accurate gauge of how human we are as
individuals and how civilized we are collectively. It will determine
whether we become more free, more mature, and more loving, or whether
we become insensitive, dehumanized, and hateful."
Marriage
Abortion destroys marriages and male-female relations generally. The
woman who has aborted a child finds it more difficult to trust the man.
Her relationship with him led to the unspeakable pain of abortion.
Meanwhile, the man finds in abortion an easy way to escape
responsibility for his actions. The fact that the law does not give
fathers a say in whether their own unborn children live or die means
that fathers are less willing to take responsibility for those children
before and after birth, and less willing to bond with them. If they are
not attached to the baby, moreover, they are not as supportive of their
partner.
Government
When our government allowed abortion, it became a different kind of
government than what it was founded to be. There are only two forms of
government. The first acknowledges that God gives us our rights, and
that government exists to secure those rights. In such a framework,
government can't tamper with the right to life, and can never
authorize its destruction.
The second form, however, says that government is the source of those
rights, and therefore has full dominion over life and death. The Pope
comments on this in Evangelium Vitae: "In this way democracy,
contradicting its own principles, effectively moves toward a form of
totalitarianism. The State is no longer the 'common home' where all
can live together on the basis of principles of fundamental equality,
but is transformed into a tyrant State, which arrogates to itself the
right to dispose of the life of the weakest and most defenseless
members. . . . When this happens, the process leading to the breakdown
of a genuinely human coexistence and the disintegration of the State
itself has already begun. . . . This is the death of true freedom"
(no. 20).
Abortion has wrought havoc on our political system, practically
destroying one of our national parties and hijacking the
constitutionally provided method for filling positions on federal
courts.
Other effects in law have been described as "the abortion
distortion." In various states, for example, pro-abortion forces have
begun to shut down avenues of free speech, such as specialty license
plate programs or tow banner advertising, just to prevent the truth of
abortion from being told.
The Church
The well-being of the Church is also at stake because of the abortion
controversy. The more the "ethic" of abortion is embedded in the
laws and practices of society, the more strained are the Church's
relations with government. The Church, after all, must interact with
government leaders on a wide range of programs that serve the people
and advance the Church's interests. But as was painfully evident in
recent controversies over whether pro-abortion politicians should be
allowed to receive Holy Communion or even appear on Church property,
the constant presence of legal abortion-and public officials who are
willing to keep it legal-will provide a source of continued conflict.
At the same time, positions on abortion are reduced, in public
commentary, to "political" positions. Given the fact that many
attorneys who advise the Church give unnecessarily restrictive legal
advice, the bottom line is that there is a chilling effect on the
freedom of the clergy-and others in ministry-to comment on
abortion. This strains the credibility of the Church, as people try to
figure out why more leadership is not evident from the pulpit on what
the bishops themselves have called the most fundamental civil rights
issue of our day.
The Medical Community
Legal abortion distorts the purpose and slows the progress of medicine.
Doctors are being reduced to their pre-Hippocratic oath days when they
were seen as dispensers of both life and death. The inherent link
between the medical profession and the care of life is being denied and
obscured. Moreover, if defects in a child are handled by aborting the
child, motivation to make medical progress in treating such defects is
deterred.
At the same time, if embryos can be destroyed, they can also be
manipulated, experimented on, sold, or combined with other species.
Bioethical oddities of immense proportions aThe fruit of abortion is
nuclear warre on the horizon.
Security
Ultimately, the economy and security of the nation and the world are
threatened by abortion. Destroying 40 million lives in a generation
can't happen without consequences, starting with the aging of the
population, with fewer younger workers supporting the system.
Moreover, how can we maintain peace between nations if we cannot
maintain peace between a mother and her own child? As Mother Teresa
warned, "If we say that a mother can kill her own child, how can we
tell other people not to kill each other? . . . The fruit of abortion
is nuclear war."
We have only skimmed the surface here and have truly not begun to
appreciate the destructive power of abortion. May we, as individuals
and as a society, face up to the truth about abortion and its many
dimensions before it is too late.

Fortunately, Greenville, Clemson, and Spartanburg have refused the service.
Your absolutly correct. Abortion by reducing the growth in world over
population is of untold beneifit
to all of us. It reduces water and air polution; delays the depletion of
natural and vital resources and
slows the depletion of the oceans fish populations. We really need more
abortions!

Human population has skyrocketed from 1.5 billion to 6.5 billion over
the last couple hundred years. If we had an additional 40 million
people on the planet from each generation, each breeding MORE people,
humanity would be even more screwed than it currently is.
Those who are tring to ban abortion are truly insane.

OK.
So I'm allowed to say that no woman who has had an abortion may send her
children to the school my children attend.
I may refuse to employ abortive women in a business, or as teachers, and I
refuse to be bound by any law passed by legislators who accept abortion as
moral, and I have the right to be treated by doctors and nurses who are in
no wise involved with abortions.
And my taxes don't go to supporting pensioners who have aborted the children
who would have helped to produce the wealth needed to pay for their old age.
As long as you stay the hell out of my culture, I will accept that I can
stay out of yours.

"Homestead"? As in more than an urban-sized plot of land?

Ah..in some places with a high water table, indeed. Most of Texas, and
here in California..ground water is 300-500 feet down.
Define homestead. and urban sized plot.
A verticle dry well fits neatly on a urban sized plot of land. No large
leech field required.
My dry well and septic tank take up an area 30' long, by 10' wide in
total. It could have been less, but I wanted room to drill another dry
well in the future.
Mine is 25 yrs old, been pumped twice. Dry well needs replaceing.
Thats not bad

You cant put an "arbitrary amount of stuff" in a pickup truck either.
There are proper ways to care and maintain any septic system. Millions
of Americans prove this every day on average size urban lots. And 3000
sqr feet is mighty damned small for most city lots throughout most of
the US. But still more than doable.
Do you have cites to the contrary? Please provide them
Idiot? First it was 3000 sq feet, now its 4000 sq feet. When will you
make up your mind what an " average urban lot" is?
In my area, most urban lots are 50x125 feet to 75x 125
This translates to a bit more than your 3000 morphing to 4000 square
feet.
In my area, most of them are on septic tanks with dry wells, with those
size lots.
Either you are a buffoon (my first guess) or you havent been outside of
whichever shithole you live in.
But your stupid idea of fitting everyone into Texas doesn't allow that
much room. It doesn't allow any room for roads, or water delivery, or
food delivery. It doesn't provide the energy needed. All your stupid
idea would allow for is death.

on lots that size or smaller, using septic tanks. Works
fine.
The only reason that government does not like septic
tanks in the suburbs is that it does not like the
competition. They want stuff to be provided by
government - the government disfavors septic and favors
government sewerage, because government favors
government.
I lived in an area like that. As long as you don't need
to use the groundwater, you're all right. It smells odd
when it rains, though.

It was simply an illistration of the size of the population in regards
to total land mass of the planet. I take it you missed that part while
you were working up bile and spittle?

Wasnt it you who said they lived on 3000 and then 4000 sf lots?
Seems to me you are a liar and a wanker.

Then you are admitting to one and all, that you lied.
Thanks for the confirmation (again) that you are a lying piece of human
debris.
Have a nice day

So you're now reduced to lying outright about what I write.
S.O.P. for a right-wing moron.

No, we're not. The thread started with the idiocy of fityting the
world's population into Texas. That's just 1000 square feet per
person, less than the typical suburban plot.

You could fit the entire world's population into a single square mile.
Is that also a useful illustration?

No, it wasn't.

Yes it does.
Assume each lot has a forty foot frontage on a road and
is a hundred feet deep. Assume the roads are 28 feet
wide, so the road area per lot is 40*30/2 (divide by two
because there are lots on both sides of the road.
So we need 4600 square feet per lot. Assume four people
per lot.
Area of Texas 268,601 square miles = 7500 billion square
feet
= 1.6 billion suburban lots
= 6.5 billion people.
Odd..the average sized home is from 1200 to 1400 square feet for a
family of 4.
I suspect you realize you fucked up again..painted yourself in a
corner..yet continue this buffoonishness because you, like any
Leftist..has an over inflated sense of "self esteem" and simply cannot
admit to having been shown to be a moron.

You must be willing and eager to lower drastically your
standard of living.

Odd, I didn't make any mention of "average sized home".

Increasing population density raises the standard of living. High
population areas are called city, metropolis, downtown. Low population
areas are called boondocks, backwoods, sticks, hinterland. What
connotations do these words have?
Imagine that you're homeless, without a job, without any salable
skills. Where are you going to go? You're going to go where there's so
much wealth that you can live off the scraps of other people. And
where's that? The countryside? Or the city?
Idiot.
> High
>population areas are called city, metropolis, downtown.
Slum.
Cities require large farmlands and roads and services in order
to support them.

• Where I grew up. the ground water was c. 8ft down.
Gonna need a lot of tankers to take it all away when it is pumped, about a
billion persons worth of shit per year or so. Still, there would be the
other 40-odd contiguous states left empty and finally a worthwhile purpose
for DC would have been found....

How about 'ghetto', 'urban flight', 'gated community', urban blight',

Of course, it would explain why the poor millionairse keep buying these
tar-paper shacks in 'low population' areas like Westchester.......

Logically, it's the countryside. If one is going to live off 'scraps', it's
the better choice.
Assumes no road junctions, parking areas, filling stations, workshops, new
and used car lots, bulk fuel stores, distribution centres, markets,
hospitals, schools, libraries, malls, power stations, power lines,
sub-stations, water treatment, storage or distribution facilities,
factories, offices, airports, harbours, mass-transit systems, Tv/radio
stations, etc, etc...
Of course, they could all just stay at home and not eat much instead. That
would also help with the sewage problem.
Ummm.. yeh,,,,, everyday the government has a crisis committee to decide on
how to solve the independent shit storage problem.........

In my experience, it does not smell odd when it rains.

If we put the entire population of the world into Texas,
they will be at comfortable density typical of modern
suburbia. The world is not very densely populated. We
could do with considerably more people.
Slums are created by the rural poor who move into the city seeking a
better life. Slums are proof, then, that the city is perceived to raise
the standard of living in comparison with the rural countryside. And so
many people are unlikely to be wrong about something like that.

Since you mention farmland I take it you conceded the other points
(roads and delivery).
• religious fundamentalists put their logic units in sleep mode.
So again you admit to lying.
Sure as shit.
River bank or the Ofikanoi Swamp?
I'm an atheist so I presume you're talking about Ray Fischer. Why do
you think he's a religious fundamentalist, and how is that relevant to
the current discussion anyway?
• Oxnard, CA. 2mi South the ground water emerged in a park.
Indeed. Oxnard is largely tidal marsh turned into farming and your area
is likely over a river.
Oxnard is about 80 miles from me. Our water table runs 350-500 feet
And there are all these single mothers out there fucking for freedom,
producing all these necessary extra people and yet, rather than salute their
sterling efforts, you want to take away their welfare and use it to kill
even more people... so, James, just how on earth are you going to manage to
get all these vital necessary extra people in the world? Clone Constance?
• The location where water is 8' down is c. 45-feet above sea-level.

Yet strangely, we observe such people heading to the
cities, and, by and large, areas with small population
and immense resources, for example Saudi Arabia and much
of Africa, are poor.
Tastes differ. I assure you the earth has a finite
capacity for sewage.

Looks to me that that stuff occupies are rather small
portion of the space, compared with suburban living.
The point of the comparison is that we could have a lot
more people than at present without resulting in
physical crowding.
The current shortage of urban land is because of
government policies banning subdivision, not a real
shortage.

I can assure you that none of my properties are anywhere
near that limit.

In fact the government does every day have crisis
committees to decide on the problem of preventing
independence.

Some people are less valuable than others.
See my posts on the hap map for my recommended solution
to this problem.
Not uncommon. One often finds entire lakes above the 5000' level.
As I said..you are probably over a river.
One simply needs look at Japan, Hong Kong and so forth for examples of
tight quarters in 5 million dollar homes.
You aren't living with six billion Texans yet.
Okay, when I wake up from a horrible nightmare in the wee hours tonight,
I'm calling _you_.
(Six billion Texans. *shudder*)

Sources? Like a department name perhaps? House Standing Committee on
Preventing Free-lance Cess-Pits, perhaps?
Of course, have't you heard, in the cities the streets are paved with
gold....
I see, and who gets to decide if these people are valuable or not?

Killing all the males and castarting the male children whilst fomenting
civil war and bombing the shit out of their country? And you need a map?
Maybe its a low-flying rain cloud?
