Abortion, an atrocity

THE EDITOR: We the people of this nation of Trinidad and Tobago, love our children. Why would we succumb to the seduction of America to put as many of our children to death under the pretext of helping “poor women?” The truth is, “The pregnant mother must not be left alone, left alone with her doubts and fears, her difficulties and temptations.

We must stand with her, so that she might have the necessary courage and faith, so that her conscience will not be burdened. Everyone must in a certain way be with every mother who is to give birth and offer every possible aid.” John Paul II. We have put “helping poor women” to the test by taking them in, helping with all that is necessary for them to bring their babies to term. We can show you pictures of happy mothers with their babies and others whose babies have been adopted by those who would otherwise have no children. No right thinking human being can say it is right to kill a baby. For any country to make this heinous act legal is foretelling its own future. Abortion is an atrocity, changing the whole thought process of our country.
