Honouring The Convenience of Death
The Order of Canada is being conferred on Dr. Henry Morgentaller. It is sad and strange that we should honour such acts as are performed thousands of times a year in this man's clinics.
How can abortion be celebrated?
Has it become a virtue?
Is it worthy of praise?
Abortion may be a choice but how can we be so callous as to celebrate and promote it?

Once you get past the rhetoric of choice, what’s left is a bloody and, for most people, disreputable business.
Someone who understands what abortions really mean is Stojan Adasevic, a Serbian doctor who performed 48,000 abortions in 26 years. Studying medicine in communist Yugoslavia, he was taught that abortion was simply removing a piece of tissue.
Then he began to have nightmares about a field filled with children playing and laughing. When they saw him, they ran away in fear. In the dream, a man in a black and white habit explained to Adasevic that these were the children he had aborted. The man in the habit was St. Thomas Aquinas.
Adasevic insists that he had never heard of Aquinas. In any case, he knew what he had to do. He stopped performing abortions.

the gospel is social...how did we ever forget that?
It is not a matter of engaging in both the gospel and social action, as if Christian social action was something separate from the gospel itself. The gospel has to be demonstrated in word and deed. Biblically, the gospel includes the totality of all that is good news from God for all that is bad news in human life—in every sphere. So like Jesus, authentic Christian mission has included good news for the poor, compassion for the sick and suffering justice for the oppressed, liberation for the enslaved. The gospel of the Servant of God in the power of the Spirit of God addresses every area of human need and every area that has been broken and twisted by sin and evil. And the heart of the gospel, in all of these areas, is the cross of Christ.
