    Actor James Caviezel, who played Jesus Christ in Mel Gibson’s “Passion of the Christ,” said in a recent interview in Spain that he regards abortion as “the greatest moral defect of the western world.”

    Abortion greater threat to Europe than Islamic terrorism: Duke of Kent’s son

    LONDON, December 20, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Legal abortion is “the single most grievous moral deficit in contemporary life” and its proliferation will exact an as-yet unknown social price for the countries that have adopted it, said Lord Nicholas Windsor, the son of the Duke and Duchess of Kent, this month.

    “The granting to ourselves of the right wantonly to kill, each year, millions of our offspring at the beginning of their lives: This is the question of questions for Europe,” he said.

    “The practice of abortion is a mortal wound in Europe’s heart, in the center of Hellenic and Judeo-Christian culture.”

    With legal abortion all but ubiquitous, Lord Windsor wrote in the U.S. religious journal First Things, mothers have the power of the emperor’s over the lives of their children: “Caesar’s thumb is up, or Caesar’s thumb is down. And when it comes to exporting this idea, we do it with zeal and determination through such institutions as the United Nations and the European Union.”

    He asks what the ultimate cost to a society that has “placed this fearful act at its center - consciously approving, even celebrating, its own most egregious moral failing” will be.

    The great irony, he said, is that Europe’s highly “rights” conscious political and social atmosphere, “is in favor of one of the gravest and most egregious abuses of human rights that human society has ever tolerated.”

    “Didn’t Europeans think they could never and must never kill again on an industrial scale?”

    Nice to see some prominent people speaking out about abortion, especially at Christmas when God became a little baby.

    I'd like to post these stories out in the main boards.ie realm, just not sure where. These stories need a wide readership.
