Father Robert Barron, founder of Word On Fire, comments on the ethical minefield that is “selective reduction,” as reported by Ruth Padawer in the New York Times Magazine. He sums up the mindset of this practice as “My choice trumps everything.”

When CS Lewis wrote this book I wonder if he expected the literal reality of the concept he identified to take on the new form of obliterating life inside the womb. Somehow, I don’t think he would be surprised.
Thank-you to the many people on this site who recommended this book. It was a very interesting read.
I love, love, love Father Robert Barron! I’ve always found his insights educational. You can find lots of them on Youtube.
IMO, he’s an incredibly gifted homilist. Check out his WordonFire sermons for the Scripture readings each week. Phenomenal!

As usual, he’s right on the money. According to some, a woman’s choice trumps everything. Which is just heartbreaking.
Thanks for introducing me to Father Barron Hans
I met a woman at a store the other day whose daughter was due any day with twins. I responded with excitement (“How wonderful! You’ll have twice the fun!” etc), to which she rolled her eyes and started complaining about the difficulties she anticipated (twice the cost, work, mess, trouble). I just don’t understand the mentality! When did society go from thinking of babies as blessings to be cherished to burdens to be dreaded and avoided at all costs–up to and including killing?
Excellent message! LL
