Abortion is the Crux Posted on July 7, 2020 https://www.thecatholicthing.org/2020/07/07/abortion-is-the-crux/ In 1860, the crux was slavery. Today, it is abortion. This is progress? But for a clear-thinking person, how is it possible to have gratitude for one’s parents for a birth that hinged on a calculation? Or how can you love deeply a country that can claim no interest in your being born at all?It is clearly the crux: legal abortion is the main evil that afflicts our country, and the others depend on it.Michael PakalukTUESDAY, JULY 7, 2020
