Tema: The Scholar and the Goddess

Abortion is a present day version of human sacrifice. We're back to the time when they offered babies to the god Moloc.

Something that the Romans accused the Carthaginians of and one of the reasons I've heard, albeit a very minor one, that Carthage was raised to the ground.

I read of more than one Feminist declaring that abortion is a modern day sacrament.
I think you can guess the nature of whatever religion considers infanticide a sacrament.

Immoral and monstrous.

Yes. A sacrament is defined as an "outward sign of inward grace, instituted by Christ for our sanctification" ( Catechismus concil. Trident., n. 4, ex St. Augustine, "De Catechizandis rudibus" ).

Abortion is the willful and premeditated murder of the most innocent and defenseless members of our societies.
The destruction of one's own offspring, which goes against both the divine and the natural order..

To equate the latter with the former, to believe that we are sanctified by inflicting a truly horrific death upon our children, is a complete inversion of morality.
To have one's thought so utterly warped and perverted as to actually believe this (to be honest, I'm not entirely convinced that these people really believe what they are saying) is truly diabolical. If our nations were ever to become so crazed as to accept this mindset without question, not only will they not last long but they will not deserve to last either.

I can't refer to the Church's teachings, but I can refer to an example of natural law as contained in the surviving fragments of Musonius Rufus, who considered abortion to be an extremely cruel practice. As in keeping with his Stoic teachings, he regarded the begetting of children as one of the main goals, if not the main goal, of marriage. To him, abortion was a failure to see to the continuance of the human race.
