In one sense, abortion is inevitable in a society that rejects its Christian heritage. Human sacrifice was common and universal in pre-Christian times, as it is in post-Christian times with abortion. Original sin created such vile in the human heart that killing the innocent became a common way of cathartically soothing it. Christ willingly became the object of our scorn, becoming humanity’s scapegoat while providing the spiritual medicine of grace to heal us. Only faith in the crucified Christ eradicates mankind’s need to maintain a Culture of death.
