Abortion in New York

By Jesús Domingo Martínez

The State of New York has passed a law that replaces the previous one, which allows abortion throughout pregnancy. Yes, until nine months, as long as the mother’s health is at risk or the fetus is not viable. The law, for more scandal, allows certain abortions to be performed by health professionals who do not have a medical degree. A horror.

  For more inri, the New York senators have celebrated it with palms and applause, a wave of joy filled the camera of those representatives. A horror.

  Bishop Robert Barron, assistant of the diocese of Los Angeles, has described this theater as “a scene from hell”. His article describing this celebration and the consequences of the law, is of a moral and intellectual caliber worthy of a leader of the Catholic Church. I copy some paragraphs:

  “It was the celebration that was particularly annoying – on the 46th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade case.” In the decision, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo enacted a protocol that grants virtually unlimited access to abortion, allowing the murder of a child to be born until the moment of birth As a result of the ratification, the legislators and their supporters shouted, screamed and applauded, a depressing manifestation similar to the jubilation that broke out in Ireland when the referendum that legalized abortion was approved last year (…)

But who can stop seeing what is at stake? If a child, who lies peacefully in a crib in his parents’ house, was brutally murdered and dismembered, the whole country would be indignant and would demand an investigation But now the New York law confirms that that same child, moments before his birth, resting peacefully in his mother’s womb, can, with total impunity, be separated with tweezers. And the police will not be summoned; rather, it seems, murder should be a matter of celebration. “
