Nice header, I was sure this was another rant from a pro-lifer.
A community's worth is measured by the way it treats the most vulnerable, and no one is more vulnerable than in the first nine months of life's journey.
I can think of many who are more vulnerable. The homeless that no one care about, for one. The street children. The unlawfully detained. If I beat to death a homeless orphan, and then beat up a woman so that she has a miscarriage, I think it's the latter I'll be most at risk of prosecution for.
Canada glories in the names of Banting and Best, and the other medical heroes who selflessly brought healing where there was disease and suffering. Now it honours with the Order of Canada a medical man who has brought not healing, but the destruction of the defenseless and immeasurable grief.
This one sounds incredibly misleading. Sure, I can imagine that if my hypothetical girlfriend was pregnant and we were looking forward to having a kid together, and then learned that the kid had to be aborted due to some severe birth defect or whatever, it wouldn't be a happy circumstance to be in. But to place the source of grief on the abortion, instead of the problem that necessitated it, seems wrong to me.
I earnestly appeal to all who are tempted to resort to an abortionist, or are pressured to do so by those around them. I urge you to contact organizations such as Birthright, and others who will support you and love you and your precious child.
Last time I checked, "abortionists"
do care about "you and your precious child". There is no such thing as a drive-thru abortion; you have to have a talk with the doctors beforehand and be informed about alternatives and figure out if an abortion is the best choice for you. AFAIK.
Contact your parish. We are here for you.
Which often translates into "since abortion is murder, we'll tell you to have the kid no matter what, and then we'll leave you out in the cold without helping you."
For those who have had an abortion, and bear within your heart the fearful grief, I urge you to contact us, to find love and support in your
anguish, and in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, to find the gift of inner
peace.
Why on Earth would anyone go to pro-life people for comfort after having an abortion

? That's like me having an allergic reaction to beef and then seeking help at the local vegan's meeting.
