Our voices are not heard by our hearts

‘WOMEN take abortion fight to Europe,’ said your banner headline (Irish Examiner, August 10). The bottom line for abortion advocates is the legalisation of the choice, conveniently, to terminate an unwanted or unplanned pregnancy.

The fundamental nature of every person is to have the freedom to make choices. In human commerce we are all free to make choices, but we are not free to choose the consequences, which have to be accepted.

The crusaders for ‘free choice’ say nothing about the life-long emotional, psychological, physical and spiritual consequences of the killing of human life. Even if we can reason to abortion, we can’t reason with emotions. The human voice is not heard by the human heart.
