... [I]f a pregnancy is going to ruin her life in any way, she has a right to get the abortion. She has the right. She has an obligation to protect her life from being ruined.... Because you owe this respect to yourself because you're a child of God. You should feel guilty if you don't....
If you have an abortion, there is a fetus that will be killed.... This is true. But... for us, death is not the end of the story. And this unborn child or fetus or whatever you want to call it is... well, we do not know what God is going to do with this creature. God has a lot of mercy, maybe... we don't know.

"And this unborn child or fetus or whatever you want to call it is... well, we do not know what God is going to do with this creature. God has a lot of mercy, maybe... we don't know."
Playing Russian Roulette with the Lawgiver and banking on HIS mercy to overlook your shooting in the dark, not knowing who you may be maiming and/or killing is an ill advised course of action.
What Elfried Harth is saying in so many words is 'kill all you want and let God sort them out'.
Another stunning example of the arrogance of elitist liberals.

Who is 'we'? If you had a personal relationship with GOD, you'd know Him better now wouldn't you??
Posted by: Pamela at July 6, 2010 1:28 PMA couple of other points...
You should feel guilty if you DON'T have an abortion?? "If a pregnancy is going to ruin her life in ANY way" -such as WHAT? If it keeps her from partying, drinking, doing drugs? Darn that baby! Keeping her from smoking her crack or drinking until she passes out! This woman's statement is just so ridiculous..on SO many levels!
How do these people sleep at night? How delusional can you get? Pregnancy will change your life. It will not RUIN your life. Pregnancy is not a punishment.
And parenthood is a privilege. Nobody has any right to destroy children they believe are an inconvenience, and they don't have a right to have a child whenever and however they want. That is not the way the world works. You cannot claim one child is a punishment, and another is a "blessing."
What a sick woman!!!!
Posted by: Robyn at July 6, 2010 1:59 PMI find it interesting that because of the overwhelming scientific data, pro-abort now acknowledge the fetus is a person, a living being.
BUT, say that they AND their agenda supersedes anything and anybody else. Thus, they should not feel guilty of killing someone else that is on their way.
Do they ever wonder that eventually someone will feel superior than them, thus deeming them expendable?
Posted by: Maria at July 6, 2010 2:08 PMI agree with you Maria. Pro aborts used to deny the humanity of the unborn baby, it's even more frightening that they now will call it a fetus and admit it's killing but they STILL support it.
And I don't see how anyone can call themselves a Catholic and be pro abort either.
Posted by: Joanne at July 6, 2010 3:09 PMSo why don't we just kill everyone. I mean, God has a lot of mercy...maybe...we don't know. So we should just kill people who might inconvienance our life. In fact, we're negligent if we don't kill those people!
Do these people listen to themselves?
Posted by: lauren at July 6, 2010 4:15 PMUnless this woman comes to grip with the reality of what she is really condoning and promoting, Jesus will show her the same mercy she shows to unborn persons.
Elfriede, think long and hard about how you will explain your behaviors towards the least among us on the day you meet The Creator face to face. He is Mercy but also puts people in your life to warn you when you are off the narrow path. You are WAY OFF the path. Please find you way back.
Posted by: Praxedes at July 6, 2010 5:39 PMMy cat has ruined my life in that there's fur all over my house and I can't sleep in. Therefore, I have a right to gruesomely dismember my cat. Hey, death isn't the end of the story, and God will sort it out, or whatever.
Posted by: Marauder at July 6, 2010 5:58 PMSo Mary, a single, unmarried woman had the obligation to protect her life from being ruined. She owed this respect to herself because she was a child of God.
Where would we be had MAry even thought like this...
Mary's response was, "Let it be done to me according to your word."
Acceptance of God plans to veto mine!
The whole basis of Chritianity is "Father not my will be done but your will"
For the sake of his sorrowful passion, have mercy on Elfriede Harth and on the whole world.
Mary's response was, "Let it be done to me according to your word."
Acceptance of God plans to veto mine!

Very true, Chantal. This concept is completely foreign to the world around us. If their eyes were only opened. If they only knew...
God is rich in mercy, yes, but He is also just.

Crazy how she acknowledges that a fetus has a human soul. Sorta like a Nazi acknowledging that those piles of bodies in the pit are human beings, and not vermin......oy. Ideology before human life.....its bat**** crazy 0_0
