Real freedom to choose

An important percentage of women that have abortions do not know what it means. Of course, most of them do not know the application of ethics to abortion, nor the biological meaning and consequences of it. But on an even more basic level, they really know nothing about abortion. They are ignorant about how the abortion procedure is done and how it will affect them, and they do not acknowledge that they have a human being in their womb.
It is easy to talk about freedom of speech and fight for personal liberty. Everybody loves those concepts. But freedom and liberty are empty concepts if people use them ignoring what they are choosing. A slave is one who cannot choose; is there much of a difference between "cannot choose “ and “choose without knowing the meaning of the option that I have?” However, the politically correct “right to choose” does not take into consideration that nobody is really free if in choosing, one is ignorant of the alternatives.
Obviously , the polices against life contradict the main principles of the common good. And who is teaching girls the truth about abortion in this "death culture"?
This is another wonderful aspect of EMC’s ministry.
