The Early Christians were acutely aware of abortion and infanticide and condemning it

Image
  The earliest Christians were acutely aware of abortion and infanticide. Here are eight quotations from the early Church condemning abortion. "You shall not kill the child by obtaining an abortion.    Nor, again, shall you destroy him after he is born."    St. Barnabas, "Epistle of St. Barnabas," c. 70-100 A.D.   "You shall not murder a child by abortion nor kill one who has been born."  The Didache [The Teaching Of The Twelve Apostles] c. 80-140 A.D.   "Women who were reputed believers began to resort to drugs for producing sterility.    They also girded themselves around, so as to expel what was being conceived.    For they did not wish to have a child by either slave or by any common fellow - out of concern for their family and their excessive wealth.    See what a great impiety the lawless one has advanced!    He teaches adultery and murder at the same time!"    St. Hipploytus, "Refutation Of ...

This fire hydrant is a symbol of a society that is sterile and senseless; instead of life-giving and meaningful. Its true purpose has been perverted from putting out fires to throwing gas on the flames. Likewise the true purpose of government has been perverted from protecting and providing for its citizens, to persecuting and punishing its citizens. ¡Nuestra Señora de Los Ángeles, ruega por nosotros!

Planned by God

  Personal reflection: There is no such thing as an unplanned baby. All  babies are the loving providence of God.   Every child is a reminder of God’s image and infinite love. Defend Truth, be a light in the darkness, and bring about a culture of life rooted in God’s Love.
