Destroying an entire world: the millions of people who do not exist because of abortion

Although I am Catholic, there is a quote from the Mishnah, an important part of the Jewish Torah, that I always like to quote when talking about human life.

Not 'interruptions': 2.86 million abortions in Spain explained without euphemisms
Five truths that the pro-abortion lobby will not be able to silence, no matter how hard it tries

This quote reads as follows: "Whoever destroys one soul, it is as if he had destroyed an entire world. And whoever saves one life, it is as if he had saved an entire world." These words have often been used to reflect on the terrible effects of the Holocaust, which are not limited to the destruction of the lives that were physically annihilated by the nazis, but also to the lives that ceased to exist because their parents were murdered.

This Jewish quote is also often used to explain how important the act of saving a life is, sometimes at great risk, because whoever does so has not only managed to avoid the death of a person, but also the disappearance of all his descendants, a terrible shock wave that extends into the future.

According to official figures, since 1985, 2,862,621 unborn children have been murdered in the womb in Spain under the protection of the two abortion laws approved by the socialists of the PSOE and maintained by the centrists of the Popular Party. If many of these children were alive today, they would already be parents, so their elimination has not only physically erased them, but also any children they might have had. Children who will never exist again.

Oskar Schindler and others who helped save Jews during the Holocaust are today recognized not only for the lives they managed to save, but also for their descendants, because if they had not acted as they did, none of those people would exist today.

Similarly, those who promote and support abortion are not only morally responsible for the lives taken by this monstrosity, a responsibility that does not disappear simply by referring to these crimes with cynical euphemisms such as "voluntary interruption of pregnancy." Furthermore, they are also morally responsible for the lives that will no longer exist, because these laws served to provide legal cover for their elimination.

The social acceptance of abortion is destroying an entire world, and today, the day in which we remember the innocents killed by Herod in Bethlehem, is a day in which we must remember this, to repeat it the other 364 days of each year, even if some threaten us with censorship. Because if those of us who defend life remain silent, how many lost lives could be attributed to our silence?
