Jill Stanek: Who's to blame when aborting women die?
Whose fault is it when aborting women die? It depends, according to abortion proponents. If the abortion was illegal, we are. If the abortion was legal, she is.
Cases in point, yesteryear's illegal abortion of Gerri Santoro and this year's legal abortion of Edrica Goode.
You've likely seen the haunting, iconic photo of Gerri Santoro, dead, naked, knees to chest with bloody bottom in the air on a hotel room floor, the result of an illegal abortion in 1964 at age 27.
How did Santoro get there? At six and a half months pregnant by a married man, Santoro apparently panicked when learning her own abusive husband, whom she had left but not divorced, was traveling from out-of-state to visit their two daughters.
Santoro and her baby's father checked into a hotel, where he tried aborting her using a textbook and borrowed surgical instruments. When Santoro began hemorrhaging, he fled. [More]
My Comments: These are both indeed very sad situations which could have been prevented. What this reveals to me is that we all need to continue to pray for an end to the culture of death. We need to share the truth with others about chastity, purity, self-control, and to educate our society about contraception, abortion and the consequences of living a life that is not in union with God's will. So many are living in the darkness. Let us expose them to the light. My heart aches for these women, their children, and all those who were hurt by these abortions.
