Children of fetal age are the only group of humanity, the smallest, who are not entitled to - or only to a limited extent, in the event that adults decide to give them the green light to come into the world - the most basic human right: the right to life.
March 25th is the feast of Our Lady of Fruitbearing in the Catholic Church, when believers remember the conception of Jesus, the date of which was determined by the 9 months of pregnancy counted back from Christmas.
This spring day, a day about the joy of life springing up, is also World Day of the Unborn Child, when in many countries doctors sworn to cure - and never to destroy life - do not perform artificial abortions, drawing attention to the value of fetal life and the injustice that it falls in mass with our smallest fellow human beings, constantly considering abortion as the leading cause of death statistics in the world.
Children of fetal age are the only group of humanity, the smallest, who are not entitled to - or only to a limited extent, in the event that adults decide to give them the green light to come into the world - the most basic human right: the right to life. Their advocacy ability is almost immeasurable. There is no party that counts on their votes, no economic interest that could appeal to their money, no media producer whose content they could consume. Their tiny hearts are only beating profusely with growth and desire for life, the sound of which causes law-conscious humanity to turn away in outrage.
There are still no loud human rights protests against this obvious and serious discrimination,
not a single athlete kneels at the start of matches because of them, no big companies launch campaigns to help them, but there is not even a recognizable symbol, logo, flag or acronym that would be a tangible and well-known symbol of standing up for their rights. There are organizations that help mothers in crisis, but their life-saving, self-sacrificing work that helps women and families receives hardly any publicity or meaningful help. And there are people praying near abortion clinics, for example. Where this is still possible.
Since March 7, in the United Kingdom, for example, it is no longer allowed silently, as "prayer-free zones" have been drawn around angel-making factories to protect women's rights.For the adults who buy them for cute puppies and baby seals, the lives of children of fetal age only matter if they - who otherwise have the right to decide whether to conceive a new life - find their arrival just right. And for the rest, the few who are now declared extremists only pray quietly,
who are increasingly aggressively pushed out by the so-called "progressive" part of the world,
their unpleasant voice is silenced by the media, but mostly not even shown (if there is a taboo today, it is the biggest!), and the legislators are slowly threatening their stance with the tools of criminal law.
While the world - apparently - agrees that children are entitled to special protection simply due to their age, which at the same time creates increased responsibility for adults, the relevant UN convention - ratified by all member states except the United States - is also vague in relation to the youngest.
Article 1 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, adopted in 1989, defines who is meant by "child" in the regulation. According to the wording of the Convention, "a child is a person under the age of 18". Therefore, while the end of childhood is an exact definition that ends on the given child's 18th birthday, its beginning can be covered up with a little magic and legalism. It is not possible to know whether the birth, conception or an arbitrarily designated moment between the two is the one from which the convention orders to protect and care for the little person?
One thing is for sure. The fate of children, including the unborn and, of course, those who grow up in an unloving environment or under physical and mental threat after their birth,
it holds a mirror to the world of adults.
And this reflection is not at all attractive at the moment, rather it shows distorted features.
Anyone who aspires to be more beautiful than this image, feels called to do better, and goes against the overwhelmingly powerful anti-life and anti-child machine, is the hottest rebel of our time.And pull yourself out proud!
