We hear about 'women's health' or 'reproductive rights'; yet by changing the vocabulary, some people hide repulsive acts. Instead of 'abortion' we hear about 'termination', just as in the French Revolution people said they brought 'liberty and fraternity' - even as they executed thousands of innocent priests and religious.

A Woman wanting to have an abortion is claiming a right she does not have: a right to kill another person. The baby, on the other hand, has the right not to be killed. He should not be poisoned or dismembered because his future emergence is judged to be inconvenient.

A mother and her unborn child do not have competing rights. Each, as a living human being, has the right to life, that is: THE RIGHT NOT TO BE KILLED. For a baby to be killed for the convenience of its mother is like prisoners of war being killed for the convenience of the captors, who have little food to share with them.

The Lord wants everyone to realise what He sees, from Heaven, as He looks upon the world He made and sees human beings kill and discard the little babies to whom He gave life at their conception. He sees mothers, whom He wishes to cherish their children, ask doctors to destroy them in the womb! This destruction of babies is a monstrous sin, in His sight; yet people call it a 'woman's right'.

In societies where abortion is allowed in grave circumstances, it then becomes common-place, then is claimed as a 'right'; and this leads to the gradual approval of further types of killing, such as withdrawal of sustenance from the sick, doctor-assisted suicide, or even calls for the infanticide of children handicapped or sick. It can even lead to pro-life supporters being called religious fanatics.

Where abortion is freely available, many young people have adopted a hedonistic outlook, supposing that if they want to get drunk, it's their right; if they unexpectantly conceive babies, they can get rid of them; and if the Government wants them to stop having babies, they should extend the provision of free contraceptives.

Abortion is not a human right but a barbarity that kills over six hundred babies every day in the UK

Many women cry out about their human rights, and even their 'right to choose', that is, to choose to destroy a little human being in the womb. No-one has such a right, whereas every little baby, however small, most certainly has the right not to be killed: a right which politicians should be defending.

We are right to defend human rights. Each person has been given life by God. However, there are no human rights, if the right to life is ignored. There are no human rights to fight for, if the right to life is ignored. So when Catholics write about such issues, they must first protest about the evil practice of abortion, before defending, for example, a right to food, shelter, a just wage, and other matters.

There are no human rights, if the right to life is denied. It is an admirable thing, to substitute friendship for racism, housing for destitution, justice for lynch-law, education for child labour, and freedom, for slavery; yet what use are such human rights to someone whose very right to life, in its very eartly stages, had been denied, in the merciless act of direct abortion?
