We do not get to hear the voices or thoughts of the ones who are not born. But for abortion, we would hear those voices. At some point, it seems likely that Leonard's caustic cynicism regarding the likes of Eichmann might also be provoked by the uttter and sheer helplessness of those human beings 'in utero' who never get to appear, here.
I don't think it's about 'right' and 'wrong'.The facts of abortion just bother some people. It sounds like Leonard was one, just as he may ( or may not) be one who is troubled at heart by those who become pregant irresponsibly. An 'irreponsible pregnancy' would be one in which the pregnant person chose to not become responsible for the indwelling infant. I see no difference between deadbeat fathers and those who abort latent human beings.
Irritating as all of this may be, I do not see any merit to 'legislating' against abortions.
I prefer education to political hypocrisy.
I'm sure God catches these infants on the other side, just as the victims of the Nazi regime were redeemed of their calamity, by God.
When Leonard asks, [Story of Isaac], " ... if you call me brother now, forgive me if I inquire, just according to whose plan?" it seems he might as well say "Who is God?" For me this question is answered over and over again in N.D. Walsch's books in which he speaks freely with 'God', and 'God' speaks just as freely with him.
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
