Pearls and Aphorisms of Blessed Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński about KILLING THE UNBORN.

180. If the most innocent and vulnerable cannot feel safe in society, then no one can feel safe anymore in such a society.[i]
181. at the moment of conception, an immortal being comes into existence, which nothing can destroy. Even the most cunning measures against the conceived and yet unborn life cannot destroy the existence of the conceived person. It already has its own existence and is indestructible.[ii]
182. It is sometimes called homicide. This is more than a homicide. It is a blow at God’s gift, at God’s children; so, it can be said that it is a kind of deicide. Everyone who raises his hand against a child that is taking shape in a mother’s womb stretches out his hand against the will of God and the power of the Creator, the child’s Father, who bears the mark that distinguishes God’s children.[iii]
183. God is the author of life. Therefore, the defense and preservation of life and its use is the greatest human responsibility. The most diverse situations create confusion in thoughts, views, and beliefs, sometimes making the value of life, in the eyes of some people, fall even more than the value of money. People save the value of money, but they are not always able to save the value of life. They try to preserve material values and do not always recognize that spiritual goods, including human life, have the greatest value.[iv]
184. A nation that does not believe in greatness and does not want great people ends. You have to believe in your greatness and desire it. This is not presumptuousness. Greatness is related to truth, and truth stands at the altars.[v]
