Abortion is killing an innocent human being, already conceived but not yet born
Politics and Abortion
Abortion is the killing of an innocent human being, already conceived but not yet born. Reason, philosophy, science, ethics, and faith all agree on the gravity of induced abortion, the murder of a person. Those who support abortion are profiteers of human lives, politicians thirsty for votes, and ideologues who, in the most totalitarian way possible, place their ideology above truth and goodness, despising the freedom to think. Many women who have abortions, driven by their difficult circumstances or by pressure, know that abortion is not the ideal, that it is always a failure, not a solution.
The Spanish Prime Minister is trying to have abortion considered a right, and for this right to have constitutional status or to be recognized as such in charters of fundamental rights. The sensible thing to do is to recognize that something so twisted cannot be a right. Common sense alone is enough to realize that it is not a right to inflict the greatest possible harm on another. That is, to deprive them of the fundamental right upon which all other rights are based. In other words, to take away their right to life. In other words, it is not right to consider the destruction of all other rights as a right. Total destruction is not constructive. Nor is it against a right, nor is it punishable, to be opposed to abortion.
If there were a right to abortion—that is, a right to the worst thing—there would also be, consequently, a right to the least bad. Likewise, there would be a right to steal, for example, a leg or an arm from an embryo. However, all human beings have the same dignity. Therefore, if something can be done to an unborn child, it can also be done to a human being of any age. It is obvious to everyone that the entire order of human rights would then disappear.
If there were a right to abortion, the power to kill an unborn human being, abortion would be good and justifiable. If something so evil were good, then evil would be good, and the entire ethical order would be ruined. But to grant it a right is an insult to intelligence. Even more so to give it such a high status as constitutional law.
It is shameful that the attempt to make abortion a constitutional right is cloaked in progressivism, social good, socialism with a human face, feminism, democratic values, freedom, and so on. Indeed, it is not progress to regress to the point of participating in the great modern genocide. It is not a social good, nor is it socialism with a human face, to do something as inhumane as killing the most needy and poor. It is not democratic to transform society, not into a place where everyone has the same rights, but into one where, among the innocent, some have the right to life and others do not. It is not freedom to brutalize human beings to subhuman levels. It is not good for women to make them the cause of the most evil things, and consequently, to cause them so much harm. In short, to cloak abortion in the guise of a constitutional right, progressivism, social good, feminism, democratic value, and freedom is to turn politics into a steamroller that destroys civilization and into an insult and attack on democracy.
