ABORTION: The Legal Truth, The Religious Truth, The Philosophical Truth (moral/ethical)
Stéphane Bordeau
This book tells the truth about the controversial subject called “ABORTION”; a source of endless conflicts in most countries.
You will be surprised to realize that the Catholic Church does not consider Abortion as a homicide, nor even as a crime, but only as a sin (for its members only).
You will learn how a simple medical procedure to terminate an unacceptable pregnancy has become the basis for major conflicts in the political arena.
Before assessing the legality of abortion, everyone should read this book. The facts are very surprising and the current furor against abortion is not justified.

From the mountains of information about abortion, the author has chosen to retain only facts that are legally provable, religiously real and philosophically supported by simple logic.
The purpose of this book is to educate and it is hoped that because of its small size, the book will be read more widely. After reading the contents, the reader is free to retain, adjust or correct his/her beliefs.
The author believes that abortion is a medical and humane concern that should not be associated with religion, morality or politics and that the subject should be completely excluded from all political debates.
De toute l’information concernant les avortements, l’auteur a choisi de garder seulement les faits qui sont prouvables légalement, réels d’après la religion et philosophiquement supportables par une simple logique.
Le but de ce livre est d’informer et l'auteur espère que son petit format aidera à une plus grande diffusion. Après avoir lu ce livre, le lecteur est libre de garder, de modifier ou de corriger ses croyances.
.......The problems are due to ignorance of legal and religious facts and of the related adoption problems. A stigma of homicide has been attached to the termination of a foetus that surpasses normal concerns of the value of life, which disagrees with the Church’s view on the matter.
.......Almost every country of the world do not consider abortion as homicide and the Catholic Church itself does not consider abortion as a homicide, nor as a crime, but only as a sin (for Catholics only). The problem of abortion (assisted miscarriage) can be reduced to a simple medical issue between a woman and her physician.
.......The results of abortion polls can be manipulated in many ways to give the desired answer. More meaningful is the worldwide count of abortions. This is surprisingly high and is estimated at over 125,000 per day i.e. 45 million per year (26 million legal abortions and 20 million where it is restricted or illegal). Most abortions occur in developing countries (over 77 %). In the United States, most are done before 12 weeks of pregnancy (89%), between 13-15 weeks (6%), between 16-20 weeks (4%) and after 20 weeks, 1%.
.......Abortion has become an issue where politicians must take a public stand for or against abortion. Those who favour legal abortions have to say in the same breath that abortions are bad, to avoid losing the religious vote. Others claim to be against abortion to get more votes.
Religious people forget that natural abortions (miscarriages) occur all the time. If nature does it, can it be so wrong?
The problem can be examined under three angles:
1) The Legal Aspect,
2) The Religious Aspect and
3) The Moral Aspect –the value of life.

……Les difficultés sont dues au manque d’information légale et religieuse et de connaissances concernant les adoptions. Un stigma d’homicide a été attaché à la terminaison d’un fœtus, qui dépasse les normes de la valeur de la vie, et qui est contraire aux opinions de l’Église Catholique.
……La plupart des pays ne considère pas l’avortement comme homicide et même l’Église ne considère pas l’avortement comme homicide, ni comme un crime, mais seulement comme péché (pour les catholiques). Le
