Mrs Van Lancker’s report is a veritable nightmare. It addresses issues of sexuality and reproduction without ever referring to the acceptance of life. Reading this report, one is given the morbid impression that any pregnancy is necessarily a crisis. It is certainly true that too many pregnant women find themselves in situations of human or material distress. So is it not our responsibility to act instead of looking for an escape route? Abortion is the easy solution, creating a society that is dying because it no longer respects life.
Let us campaign instead for the development of reception centres for mothers in distress; let us give them the real human, material and financial resources they need to alleviate their distress; let us re-evaluate and grant social and economic recognition to the choice of some parents to suspend their careers in order to look after their children; let us simplify adoption procedures, etc.
In the name of a struggle to impose a hedonistic and materialistic ideology, in an utter denial of humanity, people would have us reject so-called unwanted children, just as they reject elderly men and women whom they consider to be a burden. Instead of this culture of death, let us opt for life from its inception to its natural end and for acceptance of the children who are our future."@en1
