Two thousand years ago in Bethlehem was born a boy named Jesus

A small people living in that region of the world, the Jewish people, waiting for his coming was announced by centuries of prophets and men of faith, but did not recognize him: He was, He is the Son of God came to earth to share the 'Father's love with men.

A small child, an infant son of his mother Mary and a foster father named Joseph. A baby boy born in a small room in a small town located in a small region of the world. The Saviour of the world came into the world like that.

But today, those children who can not come to the world?

In Italy since 1978, the year of entry into force of Law 194 on abortion, to date, the unborn babies in hospitals have been over 6,000,000, more than 180,000 children a year, more than 15,000 each month over 500 daily, over 40 children killed every hour.

The other side of the coin, so to speak, thousands of couples are forced to resort to international adoption with monetary costs, ignoring non-cash exceeding € 50,000 for adoption.

Why is not possible to meet these two worlds, eliminating murder and needless suffering for everyone involved?

Article 1 of Law 194 provides that:

"The State shall guarantee the right to conscientious and responsible procreation, recognizes the social value of motherhood and protection of human life from its beginning.

Voluntary termination of pregnancy, under this law, it is a means of birth control.

The State, the regions and local authorities, as part of their duties and powers, promote and develop the social and health services, as well as other necessary steps to prevent abortion is used for the purpose of limiting births. '

Illegal abortions in Italy continue to be practiced, needless to hide behind a finger.

In addition, a girl of 14 years may, without saying anything to their parents, go to court and defend themselves authorize a 'termination of pregnancy. Still, if I'm not mistaken, the same girl if you want to get a piercing practice must have the permission of a parent!

Our society in recent years has rightly developed a growing sensitivity to environmental protection, the abolition of the death penalty, the defense of animals. How to reconcile all these attentions with the maintenance of a practice which favors abortion facing the human infant?

Pregnancy is not a disease. Here we are not talking of cases in which to carry a pregnancy to cause serious physical harm to the mother, here we are talking about re-educating the young, women and men, respect for life and a social life - conscious emotions of all the factors involved. From this point of view, we are the first adults-parents accountable to our young people. And it is time to become aware of this.

On Christmas Eve, in front of the hut, in front of the Newborn, turn a thought unborn children over the years and ask Him to keep them company with Mary and Joseph.
