Recently, I have been watching the birth announcements and I was shocked to
note so many babies have entered this world without the blessings of holy
matrimony by two people in love and eager to start a holy family.
   
I guess they have fallen prey to the trick used by foxy sellers of items on
the guarantee “try before you buy.”
    However, this is the cause for the killing of babies by abortion. And yes,
murders and post-partum, when the mother of these children as noted, realized
too late, that her baby does not have a father, she decides to throw the baby
into a garbage can. This has happened very frequently. Of course, that man
suffers no anxiety or guilt. The victims suffer the most, including the poor
little baby without two parents to watch it grow and love, without a family
blessed with the sacrament of matrimony.
