From tee shirts,to blogs, to web sites, to articles, we are constantly confronted with attempts to de-stigmatize abortion.
Such is the attempt in the book "Inner Healing After Abortion" by Marilyn Gryte
"Abortion is one of the childbearing losses"
“As a counselor I work with many people healing from painful life experiences. Whether the loss is the death of someone loved, the loss of a relationship, an abortion, a background of abuse, loss of self-esteem, health, hopes or dreams, I find each loss asks its turn to be mourned. The journey of healing is one of grieving and making peace.”
This quote reminds me of a talk I heard a priest give once. He was speaking about how people try to slip the "big one" into their confession someplace where it will not be as noticed. To liken an abortion with these other losses is ridiculous and a great injustice to those who are suffering.
All the teeshirts, blogs and sites in the world will never make abortion ok...bottom line is, it won't work...thank God!
