April 10, 2013 – Catechism2268 - 2275

These paragraphs go into the act of abortion and why it should not be allowed and why that is and will always be the teaching of the Catholic Church, regardless of what some Catholics might say.  The paragraph that interested me the most is the idea that if the laws of a country allows abortion, what foundation do they have for any of their other laws, what credibility do they have.  Laws are developed to protect society, citizens, make life peaceful.  But it the laws allow the killing of the most innocent of all people, how can they claim any ability to make laws that protect anyone.  They leave themselves open to criticism on any act or law they develop that they are only picking and choosing what and who they feel are important and protecting them.  Basically they are making laws in a relativistic way and those are the kind of laws we should all be afraid of because “might makes right”.
