Abortion and the human person : Comments
By Peter Sellick, published 9/7/2018It seems impossible to refuse the conclusion that the foetus is a potentially self-aware human being and that it may not be disposed of as passive tissue or as animal life.

Dear Peter,
.
The Christian Church buildings are often referred to as “God’s House”, never the “House of the Faithful” or the “House of the People” or any other appellation that might somehow suggest that they are dedicated to the ordinary men, women and children who frequent them.
After all, who are the churches built for ? God ? Why does God need buildings ? Isn’t God supposed to be “infinite, eternal, omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient” ? Aren’t churches built for the “faithful”, the adherents to particular religions, to create an awesome and peaceful atmosphere of sanctity, not for God – he doesn’t need that – but for the “faithful”, the ordinary men, women and children who (as you say) are “sentient beings” and believe there is a God ?
In the US, the “People’s House” is what the Democrats call the House of Representatives. No God there at all. He is in a completely different building, at another address.
Strange, isn’t it ?
It seems that, for the American Democrats, the House of Representatives is far more human than the Church.
Maybe the Grand Old Party has a different point of view.
I shouldn't be surprised if it did.
Would you ?
