I aborted

I Aborted
After the arrest of the Peruvian child assassin, the 84 year old Carlos Morín, the entire tragedy has developed in a vehement manner.
What hurts him the most is the deliberate murder of his own son. It happened 57 years ago. He was 27 years old then. It happened in an abortion clinic. “That place was a pigsty, a slaughter”, Morín would assert. The voluntary interruption of a state of hope was realized without chloroform.
Not so long after, he had high hopes of actually having another son. He was able to plan this in four different occasions. All the pregnancies finished in unwished for abortions; like that of his first tragedy. The post-abortion symptoms will burden him throughout the rest of his life.
On the other hand, Esperanza Puente, direct victim of the voluntary and provoked abortion, intervened in the presentation of the book “I Aborted”. This books retells the stories of mothers that have murdered their own children by committing an abortion.

Voluntary abortion creates physical sturdiness, as well as different and arduous states of mind for the woman. The crisis of the post-traumatic stress begins. This crisis evolves with great suffering and fear that leads the woman to depression, an increased consumption of alcohol and drugs, changes in nutrition, anxiety, loss of self-esteem, and an increase in suicide attempts.

Women that have abortions see the death of their own children with an air of indifference. We live in a culture of death that surrounds us everywhere with a vicious egoism, brutal violence, and zero respect for the human life of an innocent unborn.
“The child that is to be born is a human being from the initial moment of conception, and his or her life should be respected. That life was redeemed by Christ, that life is a gift from God”, asserts the Swiss theologian, Karl Barth. (Translated by Gianna. A Sanchez-Moretti)
