Why instead of fighting abortionists, catholic people don't implore God to stop spontanious abortions?

Question

I wonder

Answer 1

Why not both?

We are called to pray always, asking God in petition for some desired good like a healthy and successful pregnancy. But as Jesus teaches, we need to pray, "Not our will but Your Will be done."

Abortion is the murder of the most defenseless human beings.

You shall not kill. (Ex 20:13; cf. Deut 5:17)

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you. (Jer 1:5; cf. Job 10:8-12; Ps 22:10-11)

My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately wrought in the depths of the earth. (Ps 139:15)

Early Church writings: You shall not kill the embryo by abortion and shall not cause the newborn to perish. (Didache 2, 2: SCh 248, 148; cf. Ep. Barnabae 19, 5: PG 2, 777; Ad Diognetum 5, 6: PG 2, 1173; Tertullian, Apol. 9: PL 1, 319-320)

The Catholic Church is not just against abortion, it is pro-life in the widest sense. This is often called a "Consistent Ethic of Life."

This pro-life stance stresses the highest regard for dignity of human life including that of:
- All people in objecting to unjust war and nuclear arms.
- The unborn in objecting to to abortion, in fitro fertilization, frozen embryos, embryonic stem cell research, and cloning
- The elderly, sick and dying in objecting to assisted suicide and euthanazia
- Prisoners in objecting to the death penalty
- The poor and minorities in supporting social justice issues.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

Spontaneous abortion? That's a pathetic euphemism. You mean ~miscarriages.

Miscarriages are acts of nature. That being the case, there is nothing that can be donw about them because nature is a higher power than mankind.

A procurred abortion is an act of mankind; a very deliberate conscious act and it's only purpose is to destroy human beings. Since direct abortions are the result of acts of mankind, something can and should be done to positively influence people by exposing the evil behind abortion.

If you believe in a God-given inalienable right to life, you cannot support institutionalized abortions.

Answer 3

hi, for people who have self belief the fetus is human and not deemed to be by utilising the powers that be then those medical doctors are not to any extent further murderers than the squaddies and camp commanders in the Holocaust because of the fact the peoples exterminated have been deemed no longer be human by utilising the state the two. If abortion have been unlawful as earlier, i do no longer think of the medical doctors would desire to get the dying penalty yet they might desire to lose their licenses to coach and get some penal complex time like earlier.

Answer 4

80% of all embryos fail to implant, thus suffering spontaneous abortion. Must be God's fault. If birth is such a special thing, why do males need hundreds of millions of sperm cells per pregnancy try and why do women need 400+ ovum? This god should be able to bring fourth the "miracle" of life without so much redundancy.

Answer 5

That makes about as much sense as asking, "why instead of opposing murderers, Catholic people don't implore God to stop natural death?"

Answer 6

It is not God but our decision to have an abortion don't blame Catholics we don't make them have an abortion and we don't fight them!

Answer 7

Because they realize deep down inside that religion is a fraud and that prayer does not work.

So they do the next best thing and bomb a clinic.

Answer 8

Hmm. Perhaps deep down, they realize that praying to a non-existent god is useless.

Answer 9

Abortionists are not acts of nature
