In recent times, there has been intensive talk about abortion. However, there are some questions and reflections that deserve our attention and, above all, our deep reflection. Father Ángel Espinosa, in his intervention, invites us to think about what life means, and how laws can sometimes make us forget the absolute value of human existence.
- Life: What do we consider life? “Why is a bacterium considered life on Mars, but a prenatal heartbeat is not considered life on Earth?” This is one of the striking questions that Father Espinosa poses. In a world in which science advances, we sometimes forget that human life begins from the first heartbeat, inside the mother’s womb. He invites us to reflect on the contradiction of how, in some cases, the life of a human being is questioned even in its prenatal stage.
- The abortion law: what if we had it for unwanted parents? The phrase “I hope that children never ask for a law to kill unwanted parents” is provocative and invites us to think about the consequences of considering the life of a human being as something disposable, depending on their “desire” or convenience. If we call a baby “unwanted,” would we be willing to apply the same criteria to parents, who are also human and have imperfections? Here, Father Espinosa invites us to reflect on the importance of the dignity of every human being, regardless of the circumstances of their conception.
- Abortion as the death penalty for an innocent person The father emphasizes that abortion can be seen as a death penalty for a baby, who has not committed any crime. “Abortion is when a baby receives the death penalty for the actions of another.” This phrase invites us to reflect on the true sense of justice and the value of every life, especially the most vulnerable.
- Preventing abortion and prioritizing life Instead of allocating resources to promoting abortion, Father Espinosa proposes that more funds should be allocated to help those facing serious illnesses, such as cancer, and to support mothers and fathers in their responsibility to care for and raise children. Life, he reminds us, can be protected and supported through education, responsibility and love, not through the elimination of an innocent life.
- The final reflection: an urgent call “We are talking about a life. We are talking about economics, health, rights,” Father Espinosa tells us. He invites us not to forget that, above all political or economic considerations, life is a fundamental right that must be respected and protected. In a world where laws can go against life, he encourages us to do all the good we can, to promote life and to put the health of humanity as our true priority.
This message of reflection, which arises from faith and respect for life, is a call to think beyond our decisions and to value each human life as a gift. In these times of confusion, it is important that as a society we reflect on the true value of life and the consequences of our decisions. As Father Espinosa invites us, “let us do all the good we can, may God bless you always.”
This is a profound topic that invites everyone, regardless of their belief, to reflect on the absolute value of each life.
