Abortion, a betrayal in Intimacy

The United Nations with its powerful lobbyists want the Universal Right to Abortion. Sometimes, it is still incredulous how anyone can even think of it as a right. At the same time, the culture of death had always been at war with the culture of life. Roman civilization had bloodbaths in their circuses, and there were cheerers. Of recent times, Hitler had rounded up Jews in Concentration Camps. Many Germans were hailing Hitler and even leaders of other nations were honoring the German Fuhrer.
Yes, it can happen. We can be desensitized by constant exposure. We can be blinded by great rhetorics and euphemism.
Still, everything pales in comparison with abortion. It is not just the innocence and helplessness of the child within the womb. It is the most intimate of social interaction. A body within a body, a soul within a soul. A heartbeat so close in rhythm with a mother's heartbeat. The mother and the child within the womb being nourished separately. The mother and the child within the womb can face life or death separately. Yet, they affect each other greatly. The mother's sadness or stress affects the child within. The child within can also have his/her own stress that can affect the mother. They are together 24/7 facing the bigger world.
This is the most intimate of human relations, a world so closely shared with one another. The mother and the child within the womb becomes vulnerable to each other, a nakedness beyond compare even to sexual relations.
Abortion, thus, is curtailing humanity of this intimacy. We were all beneficiary of this intimate social relationship as we are all dwellers of the womb.
Seeing the Chinese video of a little girl being run over by a vehicle where passersby go on with their lives. It is heartbreaking. It is a cold world. And in our world where institutionalized abortion destroys the warmth of intimacy in the relations between a mother and a child within the womb, it can truly be cold.
Still, it is not a lost cause. We were meamt for intimacy. We can not remain cold, empty statues for long, we would want to reclaim our humanity. And for Catholics, the Holy Eucharist is the most intimate relationship we can have with God, and for that we can never never let abortion betray our true humanity.
