The lives of five leaders

The Lives of Five Leaders
I was recently presented with five cases of pregnancies, and was asked to give my opinion on whether or not it was licit for them to undergo an abortion.
In the first case the father is asthmatic and the mother has tuberculosis. They already have four children. The first one is blind, the second one deaf, the third one died during birth, and the fourth one has tuberculosis.
The second pregnancy case was due to a white man raping a black 13 year old girl.
The third pregnancy case is that of a woman that has many children, two of which have passed away, her husband is serving the war, and she does not have much time to live.
The fourth pregnancy case is that of an Anglican pastor and his wife. They have grave economic problems and already have fourteen children. They are really poor.
The fifth case is that of a young woman whose husband is not the father of the baby to be.
If these pregnancy cases were to have accepted t an abortion, then 5 people of great importance to humanity would not have been born. In the order of the cases presented, here are these significant five:
Ludwig van Beethoven (Bonn, December 16th, 1770 – Vienna, March 26th, 1827) Renowned composer, director of the German Orchestra, and pianist;
Ethel Walters (Chester, Pennsylvania October 31st, 1896 – Chatsworth, California September 1st, 1977) One of the best African American singers;
John Paul II (May 18th, 1920 – April 2nd, 2005) Pope number 264 of the Catholic Church;
John Wesley (1703 – 1791) Anglican pastor and theologian;
Jesus of Nazaret.
It is of no surprise that Doctor Nathanson (the pro-abortion pioneer of the United Stat) said after much contemplation – even after the abortion of his own son – that today Humanity regrets the slavery of yesterday, and soon it will be ashamed of abortion; the ultimate crime against human life.
